Just need to reinforce the fenders, attach the chain guards, and rig up some lights. Other than that it's ready to ride. I have been getting the weirdest looks and have even had people stop me to ask questions about it.

After my test ride today I realized there is one more thing I need more than anything....DISC BRAKES!!!!! LOL!!! These ol' rubber pads just ain't gonna cut it.
Any suggestion on a good economy disc brake kit? And by economy I mean not the best but not a POS either. Second, I'm going to start looking for a springer fork, this thing does NOT like the bumps I so easily cruise over in my car.

Have you've thought about maybe checking out a drum brake? I saw a S.A. front Drum hub at the shop today and was surprised how nice the quality was.

Just remember the old saying- 90% done, 50% to go.
