That looks great! anddd

thank you thank you thank you

for not painting your rims black

No way were the rims going to be black! Gonna go chrome until my wife said match them to tank stripe

Made a small bracket and mounted ricks regulator/rectifier to side of battery box. Should still get good airflow here (I hope)

That will work fine. Bike looks great....you must be anxious to hear it run.

HO-LY SMOKES! That is one GORGEOUS bike. I absolutely love those gold rims and how they tie in to the paint job.

Do you plan to put the emblems on the tank covers? The ones with the little gold jewel should really pop, I would think.

Yeah, I'm going to put those emblems on, as well as the black letter/chrome outline Honda tank emblem. Also need to get exhaust heat shields. All those little parts are freakin' expensive!

Mike, can't wait to hear it run! I've only ever heard 4-1 exhaust on these bikes, never 4-4 in person. My wife says it wont start and shes going to video my first attempt haha. Such confidence in me!

I assured her that there are no leftover parts so I should be fine.

Dave,

Just a heads up that your "other" K2 has been nominated for BOTM April 2015. Please accept the nomination in the build thread: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=145568.0

Great bike. We are expecting this one to be right up there, too, or even top it.

Don

Thanks for the nominations! Unfortunately that bike was sold to fund this build recently. So I'm going to hurry up and get this one done!

Dave,

With the news that you sold your K2, we are even more excited to see this bike completed! She's a beauty so far.

I never thought I would sell it, but needed money to do up this bike right. Went to a good guy though, he's taking care of it, put some cr carbs on it, new tires. Saw this pic he put on Instagram, didn't mess with it too much...

Tackled the biggest hurdle for a colorblind person today, the wiring! Got everything where I want it on electrical panel, mounted headlight and bucket.

Thanks cal! As for the gaiters, the only problem is the laziness of the owner not pulling them down over the forks

They fit fine, but I had to remove forks once after test fit and never put them back

Dave,

This is one of my favorites, too. Keep plugging away!

Dave, is that headlight from ebay? I bought one but hadn't tried fitting in the yamiya kit bucket yet. If it is the ebay one and it fits, another problem solved for me

if not, I'll find out soon $:-\$ thanks anyway!

I started a thread about it a while back to no avail

Rafi,
I remember seeing the link when you originally posted it but I wasn't smart enough to save the link to these. Can you re-post them? I think I'm going to purchase some of them.
