Before and after of build
« on: February 26, 2017, 02:28:32 PM »
I started this bike the beginning of my high school career for my senior project. A couple years later, after all the emotions and work i poured into this project it is safe to finally post a before and after pic. The bike is looking how i wanted it to but i still need to hook up wiring and cables and then shell be on the road. The reason it took so long is because after finishing it I decided to go a whole new route with it and redid it all once more. I started this project knowing nothing and finished it knowing all about these honda bikes and how to work on and build them. I couldnt have done it without my brothers and all you helpful guys on this form. Thank you all!!
