Howdy everyone? I have been absent from this site for the last 7 years or so after I finished and sold by SOHC 750 built. Have been working on Airheads mostly in the past years, but last week I came across a project and couldn't resist.
It's a 1978 with Honda Hawk swing arm, Ducati Marchesini rear wheel, GSX/R front end, Moto gadget or whatever you call it, all control lights integrated in the triple tree. That electronics stuff is new to me, so that should be fun.
It needs the carbs put back together and lots of odds and ends, I think the rear tire is to wide and rubs on the frame, lots of little things like that. I am sure I will be back a bit more often in the near future. Attached some pics.

 Sweet. Looks good so far. Start a build thread in the Projects section.  And since you've been gone we've added a section just for M-Unit and Electronic questions!

Nobody likes a Tattletale-  :P

This is awesome. I know nothing about that stuff, except that it's cool  :)

Will definitely start a thread in the Projects forum.
