That bike is gonna make a lot of women pregnant just looking at it.
Thanks.
Paint came in today which has taken forever. Have a couple samples getting sprayed this week and hoping to get that wrapped up in the next couple weeks. I’ll save my color choice as a surprise.
I think my Mom and Dad both generally approve of my hobby….which is slightly surprising. I am 99% sure my mom would ride with me.
Those Paugho drags, paired with the shovel will be sweet , sweet , music. Keep up the good work.
Well I don't, and I have feelings sometimes.
The only music I hear is AC~DC’s Ride On when I look at this thread.

Pretty good progress. I am as far as I can go without my tank and rear fender back from paint.
I’ve really been working on putting everything together…….lots of hardware, shit piles of loctite and taking my time getting things wired and plumbed. I have everything wired with the exception of the rear tail light, but I need the actual painted fender back before finishing it.
A couple of little things I altered from my original plan:
- The handle bars…….These bars came from Prism supply and have integral risers and I think look way cooler than the apes…..I just wasn’t digging them. I had them chromed when I sent the rest of my stuff off. I have worked pretty hard to keep the bars clean and avoiding anything on what would be the clutch side. I did not want to mount a high beam switch on the bars, so I decided to try and mount one in the head light itself. I went to West Marine and bought a waterproof switch and used it, I think it turned out pretty good.
- Swing Arm and Suspension……..I think the first set of shocks I had were going to be too short and bottom the bike out with me on it. The next size up made the rear sit too tall for my liking, so I found an aftermarket adjustable swing arm. It came raw and I had it chromed as well. I can now adjust the rear ride height by 2.5 inches up or down.
Here are a few updated pics.
