This does look to be a interesting build.

just a little update, can't really move forward until my custom sprocket comes in from Sidewinder sprockets,,, i'm told they are the best ,, we will see... anyway hope to see some of you this year at the paris rally in june ,, of course they pick this year to honor the wing now that i'm wingless for a short time... oh well..., and of course i just picked up my randakk oil conversion kit for this project as well as the updated front brake master kit,, can't wait to feel the new front end with the most modern brake system i have had to date... most of my bikes are always , 60's 70's....

hey guys , my deepest apologies as i have been a member in absentia ( prob spelt wrong, my latin class followed lunch so i was usually fairly loaded...lolol anim-cheers1 )...oh well.. my newest project is coming along, i'm getting down to fun stuff now.. all i have left now is finnishing up the wiring harness, install the front brakes, bleeding the front and back..and i still have not decided where to put the choke knob,, i'm going to keep it close to the stock position so i don't have to shorten the cable... i did shorten both the push pull throttle , as well as the clutch cable... they look great i hope i measured correctly... i'll let you know.. i'm dying to hear this thing run, it sure feels like a little hot rod, it is so lite and nimble to move around the shop... i will be at the paris ralley so i'm looking forward to meeting some of the more , how shall i say this politely " those of you lacking of any morals or principals , whatsoever...... nvp
