Got the wiring harness made an in place all ready had power in it from my booster pack an man alive those lights look good ! as soon as the last of the parts show up I will post pics .....an I am getting antsy waiting .
I can do that but you guys will have to wait till it is actually running----until then ya got to settle for pics. maybe monday I will post a few pics of the turnsignal switch that took 3 hours to make .
had a lil time to kill today an a small job to do for my neighbor that I had been putting off for like ever...basicly it gave me an excuse to get in the shop an do a few more things on the mb (got to love them ulterior motives ! ) the wife new what I was up to an didnt care so . here ya go .
I found a switch housing laying around an a like new tachometer mount it took some doing but now its a perfect switch an mount. an behind the covers I built to hide the cdi are more wires than I care to count anymorethe only real places you see wires are at their ends an under the motor an where they cross over to the swing arm,got some small tool bags to hang on either side below the seat an behind the tank for the battery on one side an the obvious tools on the other, an finally fitted up the rear brakes. an as I have promised when it runs video will follow .

BOY OH BOY , got happy today my tool bags showed up so I installed them , an made sure they would never move I drilled 3 small holes in the back side an used auto upholstery screws to tightly attach to the frame then laced them together across the top for the illusion , also finally finished my kick stand .

It turned out awesome! I especially like the 2 disc brake, the fact that you put multi gears to make it easy to pedal and the saddle bag is the icing on the cake. Nice job!
Thank you I am especially pleased with the out come , soon as I get it running right , I'm building another maybe 2 . hehehehe
Thanks Az , I just kept looking at you guys bikes an build advice an learning on the fly , thank you again .
Well for the last 2 days I have started that bike a dozen times maybe more , tonight I let it run for half an hour before closing the fuel off an its starting to have moments where it runs sooooooo much better , tonight most noticably while I was making an exhaust tip for I had shut off the fuel an was waiting for it to run out an stall it started to run soooo smooth then stalled out of gas . I think I should rejet or at least raise the c clip on the needle 1 notch (maybe I will do that first ) . but heres the tip I made while it was running .

hey it looks like you and me are on the same page !!, i know by looking at your bike i am gonna have some issues on where to position the motor,, you have the luxury of extra space above the crank hub, my bike has no room above so i am gonna have to juggle with where the motor and jackshaft are going,, i can see myself maybe having to add some detouring sprockets to clear the motor,, i will see when i get to that stage,, thanks for redirecting me to your pics,, looks like a neat ride,, what colour she gonna be? bet you cant wait till its finished,, these damn things are an itch you gotta scratch,, my wife is worried .
