did some more work today. wanted to see how the original front wheel would look so i mounted it and decided i like it. drilled a hole in the triple tree and mounted the headlight. just have to buy an offset gear and then its ready to go. heres some pics. sorry for the quality, i have a bad camera and parkinsons so i literally take 5 pics of the same thing before i get an okay one.
