Drew up a horrid sketch of a wiring diagram today. It isn't pretty but I think it's close....

Like the change in the seat a small change but I agree a huge improvement.

Lots coming .... not much to show you. 

The finished seat and oil tank (with upholstery), front and rear break switches, tires, and built wheels from buchanan's should be here next week.

2 sets of blinkers showed up from Watsen Design. Build quality is awesome.

More soon.

Seat, wheels, and tires showed up. Threw them all on the bike as well as the exhaust to do a rough mock up. Getting a pretty good idea of what it's going to look like.

I finally have a roller!

Those blinkers are really small. I would be worried about them being visible to other drivers. Just a safety thing but you may not care. lol

Yeah ... the blinkers are tiny. I checked some out before and they were crazy bright and easily visible. I plan on wiring them up and resting them in a few places to see if there is sufficient visibility. If not, I'll just have to find alternative.

that sweet. IMO one thing I would do is bring the tubing around the rear cowl.

Agreed. Next month the tubing will be extended along with seat and electronics mounting.

Not much progress as of late. I got the wiring 80% done and have been doing a few frame modifications.

I shortened the seat to better balance out the length of the bike. Some friends have been trying to convince me to put the old tank and seat on it instead but I'm not sold.

Thoughts?

I'm dig'n the new tank, but not so much the tail.  IMO, just too long & square.

Yeah...I keep wrestling with that.

I do have a CR750 works style seat I could use. I assume it should look reasonable since I am using a CR gas tank.
