You could build another 750 that's beyond repair and save this one incase it ever wants to go back to stock

Very good thought! I will be watching out for a roller without motor. I will need the carbs though. However I really like the brat, cafe, and bobber builds. Sooooooo.... I don't think I'll be one to return it to stock. :)

In for the follow. Beautiful build!

Thanks!!! It's been a long time on the works. It's nice to have other fine builders admonish my work. :)

Alright here's some things I'm dealing with now and some pictures of me electrics box

It's pretty rough but it's also my first time doing metal bending and sheet metal work. I bent it using my vise.Its made out of 22 gauge steel and welded at the seams. I am going to paint it white in a few days.


This is my regulator I'm not sure if I wrecked it yet but time will tell hopefully not it's an old 1970's ford


And here is my 3 phase rectifier that I heat sinked to my electrics box


And this is the battery tender dongle :)



Ok so here are some issues I'm having with my wiring.

When I turn the bike on both turn signals act like running lights lol but when I turn the turn signal to the left the left one goes out and same when switched to the right

Next when I push start they both go out and the neutral light on my gauges lights up when I press start also


So that's all so far I'm just trying to get the electrics as clean as possible then make a seat pan and heavily debating on chopping the tail and rear support and welding in a hoop then painting.

Had a small disaster the other day my regulator was not functioning as need or was hooked up wrong and it burnt out a battery and turned my pan into a tray of fire. fortunately i was able to avert disaster and get everything saved but 1 wire. I then went back to stock reg and painted and reorganized my pan. I think it looks a ton neater
