Congrats on getting her running. BTW which Accel coils did you buy? I had to wire resistors in-line with mine to keep the charging system happy...

Thanks...the coils came on another bike so I’ll have to check on the number

I originally Had the coils paired with a dyna s ignition as they came together but I noticed the coils running hot so I switched to points and they now run cool

Not sure on that situation but it seems to run good

I’ll know more when I test drive it

The bike sounds good and looks good. What color are you going to paint it?

black gold pearl, custom mixed

Interesting color.  With the gold pearl, it appears to give the black a green hue.

yeah for some reason the camera makes it look that way, it might be the LED lights in my garage, in person it looks more chocolate brown, no green at all

Kinda reminds me of my Kawasaki H2, they call it Candy Gold but it looks brown to me (with gold metallic).  I really like it....
