Meanwhile in Wisconsin it's riding season!
Not mine seen on FB IIRC this was shot in Norway.

Right on man, sounds like you have a fun new project underway! I am ready for spring for sure...The CDI kit was pretty easy to install if you haven't done one yet. Took me a few hours but he has some good instructions plus all the content on here for reference too.
60 degrees and sunny.
I pushed them outside for some fresh air and took a few pics. Unfortunately I got a little dirt on the tires so now I either have to get new tires or just build 2 new trackers.

Insure your jetting is plenty rich to start. Would be a shame to blue those lovely pipes. Your bar/peg choice will be fun in the twisties and I like it but my old body and my straight roads would work there. Cheers.
Option 2 @halfmile I'd love to follow a new full build of yours.60 degrees and sunny.

For less than $100, might be worth the risk if that's all that's available.
I'm generally not a huge fan of blue. but just wow! That color combination on that bike is beautiful.

I’ve made a little progress on mine. So far:
Shaved the fork lowers, lowered them 3”, shaved the top triple and added HHB light bracket. Polished the whole front end. Added some 1” Riserless bars, new spokes, tires, and tubes front and rear. Polished the hubs and replaced the brake shoes. Got a roller now. Fuel tank and fender are mocked up. Will most likely change the tank to something even smaller and I’ll narrow the bars a few inches.
Solo seat or king&queen?

I like how tight that is.
Probably only go in a straight line but who cares.
On my list to build something similar.

Lol yeah it will be interesting. Technically it’s still stock dimensions (0 stretch) other than the lowered forks. May also change out to a skinnier front tire
I think a skinny front tire will give a more balanced look to that bike.
Nice sled tho'......

Since the frame isn't stretched I would say go with a solo seat.
If you narrow the bars anymore you are going to look like a praying mantis coming down the road.
