Me to 46. I feel like quiting my day job to get this done sooner. But then I'd end up divorced and broke, so... lol

 

Thanks Toast!

 

Awesome job!!..

Hey.. I see you are planning on internally routing the cables through the frame... I did that also.. it is a lot of work... here is a link to a thread where some ideas were discussed (including an untested idea by me which requires no drilling / rerouting through the frame)..

I am itching to start working on the front end.. but I have to replace the brake pads first.. at 24K miles the pads are in bad shape.. :-(

again, great job!!

Out-friggen-standing man. Thanks for the info. I haven't really given the internal wiring thing a lot of thought yet due to all the focus on the frame and engine. Just seems like a logical thing to do with the bike completely torn down and all. But if there's anything that scares me more than chopping the frame it's screwin around with the wiring harness. Of course, tearing the bike completely down, pulling the cases off the motor...ain't none of this stuff for the faint of heart. On the other hand, chopping the frame was really a piece of cake given the expert assistance I'm getting from the son-in-law. I just have to decide if the end result is worth spending the time to do it. Your idea has merit as well and might be a much quicker route to go, so I'll have to weigh my options carefully. Thanks again Joe. I appreciate you jumping in on this.

 

Too much fun... too little time, huh Ergo?... :-)

Yeah.. the less you mess with the cabling, the better, let me know once you start planning on working on the cables and I'll be glad to help...

 

Oh yeah, it's horrible. I'm lovin this stuff.

Understood. Thanks. I will be in touch.

 

wow man, i'm super impressed but that don't mean ****, lol. you certainly got the tools and it looks like you got the know how so i'm anticipating the final result to be one of the coolest nighty's on the site. good luck bro, subscribed for sure!

 

No, it means a lot bmx. Thanks. I'm still learning, mostly from all you gize here on this forum. And this project is potentially setting me up for a huge embarassment come springtime if it don't turn out decent. But I'm trying not to think about that and just taking it one day at a time, one small project at a time. No matter what happens I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

 

Awesome work man!

 

I just joined the forum and I'm waiting for more pics. I was nervous about putting forward controls on my bike until I started reading your thread.
