Hey all,
I thought I would post a few pictures of my build progress.
First, though, I will give a rundown of what my goal is. My goal is for a vintage looking ride....... clean, classic, and minimalistic. I have already cleaned up the frame by shaving off all unnecessary brackets and barbs. I have fitted up the tank and seat, obtained from Legendary Motorcycles and Tuffside respectively. The modified frame, swing arm, wheels and miscellaneous parts will be powder coated. I will be using plenty of Motogadget products, including the M-unit and Motoscope Pro, to keep the electronics and gauges miniaturized. The bike will have a Hugh's Hand Build PMA and all electronics will be under the seat. I also intend to have Hugh rephrase my crank and cam at some point. Lighting will be all LED, including the headlight, using a Trucklite unit. I fully intend this bike to be a daily driver, but show worthy at the same time.
Anyways, here is the progress:
The first pic is of the bike fresh off my truck from Cycle Warehouse in Butler, PA. The following pics are of the progress. At this point, not pictured, the bike is completely disassembled for final welding. I also got the wheels disassembled for powder coating and to relace with stainless spokes.
