Ladies and gents... I give you the "Betty"

I still need to hook up the kill switch, replace the clutch control and replace rear fender when cut to avoid chain drive, but she is up and running, very well. I'm really happy with this build- Thanks to Duane at Thatsdax and every one here at the forum. You all made the build much easier...

LOOKS GOOD! I like the silver and the chrome tank, then the black fender is just right. I'd put the rear one back on too. NICE build.

thanks guys. yes, i'm going to put the back fender on, just have to slice a little off, so it doesn't hit the chain. Smooth ride, hardest part is taking it slow to break her in. The best part about this build is that neither the engine nor the exhaust, absolutely nothing is rattling or moving. I couldn't be happier...

Ok, kill switch and chain tensioner attached, rear fender reattached. What do you think? I also tied the throttle cable in with the bundle up front so it looks nicer, but did that after the photo. She looks great and runs great too.
