I can see if i can read the serial number on it. That might help me.  Just thought about that.

Well i was able to get a couple of numbers off the tab on the tank that is towards the seat.  What i could read is 6J15   Anyone know what this might mean?  I searched and couldn't find anything regarding this. Was hoping it would give me some insight for what year it is.  Looks like it is a 20mm petcock opening as well.

Well my front brake is still dragging it seems.  When i am not using the front brake i am still getting a squeal. When i engage the front brakes the squeal goes away.  I am thinking about replacing the pads but they seems pretty new and work great still.  I have replaced the master cylinder, put slingshot SS lines on, have cleaned and bored out the caliper, taken a metal dremmel brush to the grove the gasket sits in and got all the crap out of it.  This didn't happen before I took this all apart.

Any other advise on this?

squealing front pads are endemic to many CBs. Either the compound of the pads you chose, or, a bit of Hi Temp grease on the back of the pad helps. The sequel is from vibration when retracted, so its a fiddly thing.

Well i have ordered more items for my electrics revamp.  Ordered another 3 button m-switch and also the ricks reg/rec.  I think all that i need to do is order my turn signals and figure out my rear brake light.  Also figure out the seat. I keep going back and forth on it on the style I want. I just need to pull the trigger.

Thanks Calj737..its been a long time coming but the bike is going to go over to moto-fied LLC here in Milwaukee and the Owner Nick is going to get the work done for me. I wanted to get all of this done but its been a crazy year since I was going to do this all my self.  New Job, had a baby so most the time is spent there!

I have all the parts so at least its just going to be labor and some fab for the mlock and the rear seat hoop.

Groovy, Nick & I will have a Bike at the Mama Tried Show this weekend. Tell him Godffery says hello!
 I think the website was done by Hardly DavidStone because it just Screams "Tractors" but the organizers tell me they are trying to have a mix of builders in the show.

Do you have any recent pix of the bake?  From where I'm sitting, it looks like all of the previously posted pix of this build are defunked.  =/
