So some of you may know that I have started a build project, but I thought it would be wise to consolidate and keep the build as its own thread with pictures and progress reports.
For those of you who don't know, I purchased this bike from a friend for $200 because he gave up riding after seeing a tragic motorcycle accident.
My plans for the bike is to make it scrambler/tracker/cafe-esque. Nothing exact, just what I like. I don't plan on doing a full tear down, but instead just updating things to make it a modern daily driver.
Things I have already purchased:
HHB complete PMA/CDI kit
Unipod foam filters
Carburetor rebuild kit
Protaper Evo handlebars-Windham
Manual petcocks
Things I plan on buying:
Motogadget M-unit
Pandemonium yo mama exhaust
2 black cone mufflers
6"x36" heat shield for muscle car side pipes (you'll see why)
Exhaust wrap
Led/turn signal integrated headlight
Led rear turn signals/running/brake light
New tires
Anti-gravity 8 cell lithium battery
New brake lever/clutch lever
Grips
Catch can for venting crank case
And other stuff I can't think of.
What I'm going to do:
For the exhaust, I want to put mufflers on the pipes and after wrapping them, put that single heat shield to cover both pipes so it's similar to a Honda CB350 scrambler.
Aside from updating the lights to LED, I'm going to redo the wiring and be rid of the reserve lighting system and simplify it with the M-unit. I'm going to retain the stock hand controls, but may change later if needed.
So I'm welcome to ideas, questions, concerns, criticism, and complements. I hope to finish in the spring.
