I like it.  Can we see a closeup of the forward controls mounts?  I'm working on some and I need a little inspiration.

Could we see some clearer pics of your rear frame mods too?  I like the fender, but maybe an inner fender will be needed to keep sand out of your electrics...

i will try and take some closer pics as soon as i can.i got the bike fired up and took it out for a small ride seems to run fine even thou it has no pod filters on it yet.however not all is perfect got a good oil leak at the head has new gasket but i wonder if i have to retighten them down now that it has run.i also have a small leak at the fuel petcock that needs to be adressed.have to check my head light as it stopped working so i don't know if i burnt it out.good news is everyday small baby steps of progress forward.

Bike looks good!!!  Can you take a pic or two to show how you have the rear fender mounted?  I'm thinking of something similar, but not sure how to mount the fender.

And yet another pic/spec request...could you do a little show and tell about your foreward controls?

alright so i took the camera out to get some pics of the forward control setup and how i mounted the rear fender don't mind the electrical mess as i just temporarily put in to be able to see if it fired up.as you can see in the vid i have a nasty oil leak at the head right around the oil gallery dowels so i guess the head is coming back off otherwise it ran pretty decent just need to tweek a few things.
