1982 Nighthawk Cafe Conversion
« on: June 05, 2012, 03:29:12 PM »
I had actually started a thread on this site but failed to see this area.

Anyway, I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have not been very good @ taking allot of photos. I get caught up in what I am doing, then later think I should have documented that. I finished bleeding the brakes last evening and got the rear tail light brackets finished. It was my goal to not hack or chop any part of the bike on this build, but alas, I will have to cut the two rear square tabs off the frame to fit my signal brackets.
