xschris: thanks man! I was hoping it was domed glass but, oh well. I went with the black mounting ears to cover the rusty pitted forks ;-). Im getting antsy to finish. I wanna RIDE!

Looking good, any ideas on what color you are going with?

 

[lewkmiller]

Good question. Trying to figure that out.

The new light and gauges look good!! I can't wait to get that far on mine.

Guys
Thought I'd give a little update. Got some welding done today!

First time welding... ever. So cut me some slack. The welds are ugly beyond all get out but I think that they will do the job.

Added this plate and ground down the lumps as well.

All done for now.

Also this mockup.

Where did you get that rear hoop?

Thanks

Looks alright to me from the pics.

Notice how there are no close ups!? Lol!

Guys
Tank and panels are at the painters. Need to decide on final design. The colors I think I have locked. Satin black and antique white. with a smokey grey blue outline. Please if you guys could look at my mock ups and let me know which one you like best.

 

[Norman1950]

I am liking the first one. Either way is going to look good!

 

[lewkmiller]

Norman: Thanks for the input!

 

[DARKMIDKNIGHTWARRIOR]

I say the first one too.

#1 and #3. Looking good BTW.

Have you put on shorter shocks or something? How come the rear wheel sits so high off the floor?

Guys just installed new throttle grip and it seems that the cable is too short for the new assembly. Any adjustments I could do? Any ideas?
