Looks good great britman.

Got a spare key/ignition switch?
It’s an odd placement in a vulnerable location.
Careful throwing a leg over, especially newb passengers.

I know, I have a CL77 that has the same issue, only on the opposite side....

Yeah, my key was bent about 45 degrees from one of my girlfriend/riders. It never got worse after that, and was easier to insert without looking for orientation, though.
:D

Looking at that bare frame reminds me of the supercharged SuperHawk I saw once: the builder/owner cut a section of that backbone out and flipped it around 180 degrees and welded it back in to make an open space for the Rootes-type supercharger, which became a piece of the upright frame section itself, after bolting to that flipped-back curved part - some real measuring-cutting finesse! That S'Hawk could top 100 MPH with him sitting up, too. He used an old Harley Linkert carb (aka "the metered leak") to fuel it, but he said the Honda fuel tap wouldn't deliver fuel fast enough after he drilled out the mainjet enough to stop the engine from overheating from lean mixtures. I don't remember how he fixed that part...

That bike made it into one of the old motorcycle magazines, too, I think it was a chopper mag?

What you think is going to take 45 minutes ends up taking up most of the afternoon, making new brackets for the 5 ohm coils out of aluminum flat stock.  After you use up every 6mm bolt in your stash you finally finish and decide to do one more little thing before heading in to catch grief from the Wife for living in the garage for the entire day, bolt the tool box on since wiring is next and the solenoid is attached to the bottom of the box.  You guys did not tell me you can't put the tool box back with the rear fender in place.  I have to pull the rear wheel and fender and start all over, and I am putting the blame entirely on your shoulders for that screw up.  I have already used up all of blame on all of the past "F&%K UP'S".  I am not doing a damn thing tomorrow besides eating a big bowl of popcorn with M&M's and sleep through a NASCAR race.....Have a great weekend one and all.......

Pretty much finished up today.  I still need to tackle a few things, carb dial in, discovered the handle bars have slight bend after everything was installed, but damn does the bike run good even with a fat condition.  I am sorry I did not post some additional pics as the finish neared but sometimes life gets in the way.....I also included a couple shots of the 305 Holy Trinity.......They all seem to be getting along so far........

Great bunch of bikes. The "mini ape hanger" bars look great on the 305.
Would be good if they were fours, need candidates for bike of the month!

Just put 2 of them together...........2+2=4 😁

Britman does AWSOME work, and quickly. Great job!
