I got this bike for a pretty good deal as a frame, engine, and box of parts. Seems i get alot of my projects this way for some reason. This is the first real motorcycle i've built, im ususally into cars. I found it significantly easier and much more enjoyable to build a bike instead of a car. It came with drag bars, and a harley rim and spoke kit for the back, i liked the look of it then and decided to go with kind of a flat track look.
Frame and engine painted, decided to go with stock tank rather than a custom chopper looking fiberglass one that came with the bike. The seat is from caferacerseats.com or something along those lines.
Shaved the emblems off the tank, still have to wetsand and repaint
I still have to make a little plate for the back part of the tank that meets the seat and tig it in there. The aftermarket seat does not have the little flap that comes up and covers the hole in the stock tank.
Custom brake barrel i made at work, the hub was missing the stock one. I made it out of stainless with a little sholder so it wouldnt fall right through. Kinda pointless, but i enjoy little details.
with the brakes hooked up i was able to take it for a test ride.
im still waiting to get it back from being covered in tan leather with black stiching, but its pretty much done. I dont know if the little bullet taillights will stay there.

which leaves me with a few questions, how much extra power does the stock charging circut have? Im looking to run an electric fuel pump and an oil pump if possible.
looking for a larger main jet, read more here:
