Well look who decided to start posting again! And at my expense!

Why can't it just be a circle? Why does it have to be a "big circle " lol

Because it would take a BIG circle to go around that pot belly. Did you get the goodie box?

Some recent pics.
Front and rear signals, Rear tail light and stop light.
Battery installation.
Gas tank mounting.
Wiring getting stuffed/hidden away.

It turns over, has spark, and all the lights work correctly including the horn.


Just enough space.

Just enough space.

About the size of a silver dollar. Made in Hong Kong but these ARE well made.


Has a license plate light too.

Just catching up on your build thread now.  Thanks for the tip about the Max 2K - I've been looking for something like this as I want to paint my stuff, but still want it to be gas resistant.

Oh, and your bike looks amazing.  Well done.

I was very lucky to get the 1969 carbs for a price I could afford.

The backing plate was missing but I solved that problem with a K2 backing plate.

SEAT- I am happy with the way the seat feels, but i am looking for a seat
that looks more conventional and is still comfortable.
It has to be a 16 inch solo seat. 10 inches wide.

Triumph and BSA came with bolt on kickstands.

Now you can buy them for 1-1/8 inch frames for $60 @Steadfast Cycles.

That means they would fit Cycleonemanufacturing frames.

Nope.... Not a "We can do this kind of thing."  You are going to have to do it.
YOU are the star of this show.

You can do it. just ask lots of questions.
You will get there.
Just take your time and do it right.
