Welder's penetrate deeper!!
Time for this build to happen. In an endeavor to score a 1972 Honda XL, which for the life of me I cant get it to not blow coils, I'm restomodding a 1980 sg(maybe sh, doesn't matter, 3GO-xxxxx).
The owner has already scored the period pieces, and done a little work, but now he has no place to work on it, so I will finish the job, and add my own special touches.
He scored a rear and front 1971 wheels, powder coated the rims sky blue, added switch boxes from a mid (70{?}), cut down a 1971 rear fender.
I'm thinking its kind of like how the big three are making cars with cues from the 60's 70's look, the new Camaro, charger, mustang.
I want this bike to reflect that feeling. Alittle tighter, alittle smaller, dependable electrics.
I'm stripping the wireing out, and will prolly have daddyg make me a new harness.
I'm keeping the starter, turn signals, horn, headlight, battery black box. Basically turning an ugly duckling into a swan.
This motor runs. I rebuilt the top end on it 5 years ago. So at least this time I don't have to rebuild a engine !
Heres the pics so far

I'm not sure what year these boxes are. I have a linked 79 set of 38's, so great that its a single throttle cable.

Here is the motolanna disk to drum bracket. Its meant for a sr500, xs400, but with some grinder file work, it fits well. the "lock bar" on the motolanna part was 1/8 wider than needed for a 1971 drum, and sat a little lower, but carefull file/grinding makes it slide right into position. Its not painted, and the mill marks are gaga-groovy, making my grind marks show up when they aren't that bad in person. I'm gonna get it anodized.
