I managed to get a little time to work on the bike today. I cleaned up the wiring under tank and removed what I didnt need. I made a coil bracket for under the choke bracket and re-located the ignition. I didnt have the bolts that I needed for the coil bracket so Ill have to finish that up this week along with getting steel to make the tank lift out of. I ended up making part of the coil bracket out of one of the strut covers and I cut up the original coil/ignition bracket to make the new ignition mount. Recycle parts is better than buying parts right? Isnt that how the original bobber was created?

^^^Wise ***. Lol. Not that I didn't like the position of yours I just thought you didn't cut enough. His sits nice and low. Please let's not revisit this. ��

Haha thanks guys. The color is starting to grow on me. What do you guys think? Originally I was thinking about flat brown or black. But I'm not too sure now.

I vote for flat brown or any derivative of brown. One of my favorite colors. Maybe with some orange or yellow highlights. Those colors go really well together.
