Ok! So... I wish i had taken more pics thus far...know that everyone here that post s tips has already helped me!i got this bike about 2 months ago, between work and family here's what's been done...
GO THROUGH ALL WIRING!, WHEW!
New ignition

Painted fuel tank, rear fender, tail piece (not on now)and headlight cover
used "gnarly"crash bars installed
Updated old scrap fuse box with blade style fuses, inline..i hear everyone changes from  a 15 amp to 30 in the main...should i? And why??

CUSTOM MADE seat (bobber or cafe?) I'm still learning terms... This seat,i wanted to ask the pros here about...how does it look??...i made this from a SKATE BOARD! lol saws, hinges, and a nice floor mat with incredible padding! I've never built a seat, or really a bike!...i bought this from a family member, my reward for working over60 hours a week regularly!

I run a carpet cleaning company in Columbus Ohio, besides some repairs on those 2 cylinder vanguard s and 3 cylinder Kubota engines and my grand prix, Iam a LEARNING mechanic! ...hopefully  my haphazard approach to building this awesome machine, is cool to the guys here with these killer bikes !

Thanks for checking this out! Hopefully I'm on the road soon!

Still have to change the oil, play with the wiring a Lil more and run new fuel line with new petcock, just in from vintage cb750...

Nice build man. Coming along real well. Look forward to the finished product.
Welcome to the forum. There's a boat load of useful info here.
It ain't a custom till you have customized it yourself.

You've been busy! Welcome in bud,bike's lookin' good! I like those crash bars you have. Looks like they tuck in much better than the ones I just picked up.


And yes,this forum does rock.
