Heres the hand shift Ive been working on, made out of old bars. Still have to clean it up.
Heres the brake bracket for the rear brake. Tacked. Still need to clean it up a little too but I have the rear brake bolted on momentarily and it works so mission accomplished I guess.
Old brake bracket I cut off

the brakes began loosing pressure, which i figured they would because i couldnt make the bleed nipple the highest part of the system. I modified the stock rear brake and got it to fit on the new rim. Brakes stop hard now. Brake light doesn't work. Tested the wires and im pretty much certain its just a bad brake light switch so Im gonna put a new one in and see what happens.

Thanks. I think the scariest part of the shifter like that was learning to pull out of parking lots with drop offs lol

im about to pick up a new tailight. Tax return money! Were gonna build new brake lines with a new pressure sensor set up sometime this week also. Might get out today and clean up some spots on the bike where I removed brackets and maybe do a little painting. Or play call of duty. This is undetermined.
