Hey, I'm Italian. Of course my wiring looks like spaghetti.

Shifter is really easy,just some carb linkage and flip your shift lever 180 degrees and presto.you get a kit from jimscustoms.net

This is my off the wall training wheel setup

This is my 1982 gl. With a off the wall training wheel set-up.

Those forward controls are case guards as well. I will have to see how that feels in that position. Looks do-able. Nice work.

FFC's do act as case guards. that bar is 1" hardened steel torqued down to 90ftlbs. I'm 6'2" the position at first is awkward at first but then really nice. I kept floorboards on so I could move around on the highway. easier on the lower back too

I didn't see this before!

This is something like what I had in mind for my own '76 bike. I have 2 sets of plastics so was going to do one set black standard, and the other a classic custom paintjob which might well be a flame type design.

Did you fabricate the 4 into one pipework?
