That is a nice example of taking something that was pretty far gone, maybe one step away from a part out and giving it a very nice new life and function.  Looks like a fun ride.

I agree, that looks fun to ride!!  I like the look.  Good Job.

The rear stand looks cool, too.  Any info on that or did you build it?

Thanks all!  The rear stand is just a simple track stand.  I upgraded the rear suspension to Redwing shocks and now my centerstand is no longer effective.  Need to extend it about an inch!

Just working through a couple small 'bugs'.  Found the starter clutch was slipping.  Luckily the mechanism is the SAME part number found on the Rebel right up through the 2014 model.  Swapped it out tonight and now it's working perfectly.
