Stock front and rear wheel painted black.
Stock engine, but I rebuilt it.
BS34 carbs with 145 mains, 45 pilots.
Stock exhaust, cut off mufflers.
Simply wired, no starter.

littlebill31,

What ignition did you use?

 

[littlebill31]

Pete, stock TCI for right now. I'm gonna get a Pamco when I do the PMA swap.
Now that it's completed I can save some money, instead of using it on those unexpected costs that always seem to pop-up, just when you think your done, lol.

Wow, looking good!!

howd you wire up your signals, and brake light???

[littlebill31]

With wires, of course.

The tail light simply runs inside the fender to the frame, then to the rear brake switch, up the back bone to the controls. The signals are mounted (not pictured) on the axle plate where the struts would go, following the tail light wires.

I tried to keep it really clean without using a fake oil tank, keeping a stock size battery, not running the wires into the frame, and using turn signals. The only real wires exposed is the TCI, which is mounted to the battery box, between it and the fender.

They are really marker lights, but work fine as turn signals. One wire is a running light, other is a brake light. So I used the brighter brake light wire for the signal and capped the running.

And it does have a kicker Tadd. I take it off. Try to steal it now, LOL.
