Re: Eight Pounds and 40 Stone Build
Finished up with the cooling system. Got her off the lift to get some outdoor pictures to see how she looks further away....maybe awesome?
Next will be electrical.

Re: Eight Pounds and 40 Stone Build
Thought would get it to fire up to see if need more fabrication for the induction, may need some type of "blow-off" valve to be mounted.
Would it be better to use stock wiring loom and components or trim down the electrical system now?
Thanks for the comments, appreciate it.

Re: Eight Pounds and 40 Stone Build
I'd trim it down now - the stock loom is pretty basic on the early bikes, and it's quite easy to thin it out by putting a modern combo reg/rectifier, getting rid of condenser if you're going with electronic ignition, yours probably has the reserve lighting with can be removed and that alone gets rid of a ton of unnecessary wires.bonneblktrk wrote: Would it be better to use stock wiring loom and components or trim down the electrical system now?
