Gisack · 06-30-2010, 08:55 AM

It would be a nice 4th of july weekend surprise. I've been busting ass on a car for the same reason. Just need to bleed the brakes and button up a few odds and ends and I'm hoping to get it legal by the weekend too. Good luck finishing the bike. The one pic I saw looks great.

DarkStarr · 07-02-2010, 03:01 PM

Well all works but apparently the headlight. Had it out for some daytime riding.

sasquach · 07-02-2010, 10:01 PM

Do you have power to the light?

DarkStarr · 07-06-2010, 08:29 PM

1 year and 4 months later.. updates!

Been riding it for little more than a week now, the bike is real responsive and rides great! Right now I am clocking 39.5 MPG with semi-aggressive riding. I guess the styling took a turn to more 'bobber'ish than chopped, which is fine, cause its coming together sweetly.

Wheels I bought with a few other things, unfortunately the front is a 19 vs my 20 and the back is a 17 vs my 19, so I'll probably clean these up and re-sell them:

Things still to come:

- Correct rear pegs (these are fronts that work for now)
- Tuck in the rear fender so that there is less gap between the seat and tail light. This will shorten the length and also reduce the wheel gap. The test fit looked sick. Not sure if I want to keep it chrome, or painted black.
- Remove the ugly huge gauges and replace with a mini-speedo/odo (no tach) mounted in the center.
- Remove and replace ugly honda bar clamp and replace with a chrome clamp.
- Possibly add a right mirror.
- Still needs rear signals. Will most likely purchase mini-LED signals. Don't care for front signals.
- Still want a new seat, but this one is pretty comfy and clean. Not my first priority.

sasquach · 07-06-2010, 10:08 PM

Looks good . Leave the fender chrome and lower the back end

Crio · 07-06-2010, 11:50 PM

Looks great man, especially remembering what it once was!

DarkStarr · 07-07-2010, 01:36 AM

Thanks to everyone for the help so far! Chris for trailering it several times, Kevin for painting, Paul for parts, Greg for tech advice, and Gino for helping me through my durrr moments - and everyone else for ideas and support!
