Thanks Michael. Yes, it's all 12 volt. I took a 7ah gel-cell battery and use that for the lights. It will last me several hours without any problem. I keep it in one of the saddlebags and ran the wires from there.

Rusty, it's funny, the green fenders were the one thing that HAD TO GO for me. That's what makes this hobby so great. One man's green fenders is another man's treasure! rotfl

Ha-HA! Well, she's got about 900 miles on it since Christmas, many of them 40 miles at a pop. I did check the bearings and actually changed out the wheels (sturmey archer with sealed bearings up front and a Heavy duty 11-gauge spoked Husky wheel in back. She's about completed at this point. Now I can go out and put some miles on it! Aught to get a video or two while I'm at it.

I know this is an old thread, and I apologize if I violate some rule here by bumping. BUT.... This build is one of my favorite I have ever seen on this site! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is simply stunning! Great job Andy!

Still at it!

Made a complete circle at life and wound up back on the ol' Andian again. I had to tear down the carb and clean it out and scrub up the bike for a while since it's been sitting in the shed for quite a few years.

Started pedaling, popped the clutch - and it fired right up! I swapped out the headlight and taillight for LEDs since technology HAS progressed a little since I built this thing. LoL.

So, anyone else still have a long-time steed?
