Thank you, I agree. I have spent a lot of time just changing bolts and sticking to the smallest details

This bike is in no way a style that I like, and even yet I really am enjoying the build pictures being a guy who works with sheet metal, welds, and paints myself. Very good job with the tins.

Wow thanks a lot. If you can tell by my garage I am a wood worker at heart. I build custom high end poker tables with dining conversions and other furniture. This is my first attempt at mechanics. I have had numerous cars and bikes and customized most but never to this level.


Thanks for the compliments on the paint. I just painted the rear fender and front headlight brow. I had the other stuff done by a pro.

More pictures of the wire tuck and ECM Relocation. I was only able to relocate it like this because I bought the Antigravity 12Cell Lithium Ion battery. This thing is really tiny. With all that extra room I was able to get the battery, ECM, fuse box and extra wiring stuffed in there. Its not pretty right now but I will clean all of it up more later.

Here is pretty much where she sits right now. I am just waiting on the tank and side covers to make everything fits.


Once I get the paint back I will be able to mount the seat, make sure all the wiring fits and make sure she fires up. I will have some programing to do with the new speedo. I have to install the fuel level sensor in the tank. I will probably have to install a load equalizer for the turn signals.

Everyone hates on the price tag of the RSD stuff but their parts look so great its really hard to choose something style wise, especially going for a cafe style, over them. Loving the build so far! Do you intend on spraying that little bit of rear fender that is slightly visible under the seat? Not really necessary as its barely noticeable at all but just curious. Those rims are beautiful!

Not trying to be rude, and you do not have to respond to this, but I'm curious as to how much you are spending for the build and bike? I'm always so curious as to how much everyone ends up spending on their builds, mostly so I can have a kind of goal or expectation to eventually go for whenever I can finally scrounge up some money.
