    Well I guess I've procrastinated organizing my pics and starting a post long enough, so here we go. Many pics from beginning(purchased April '09) to now and many thanks to those on this site. Much more progress on the way. Looking to be done by May for a Heart Assocation ride my cousin is setting up. Let me know your thoughts...

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Picked up fender. Brake Lamp came. Picked up .50 caliber shells for turn lamps, LEDs are on their way. Hopefully everything will be here by the end of next week so I can take it out to the weld shop to fab all the mounts and cut up the rear. Maybe Paint by February if all works out. Still thinking of ditching the cluster for a simple speedometer. Any suggestions/recommendations?

    Thanks,
    JB

    LEDs came early so I'll get the shells ready this week to hopefully get out to the weld shop next week for fabrication. Hopefully I'll complete bike pics next week! Pics of LEDs and shell for your enjoyment.

    for the love of pete, please ditch the gauges!!! Just get one of the $40 JC Whitney speedo's. It is all you need. You should be able to tell by feel when it is time to shift. Here is a pic of the speedo on my old 400 tracker bike.

    dwcopple, Nice. I'll check them out. I had to pick up somethings at the local autozone and saw one I liked. I just have to make my mind up and purchase one and stick with it.


    Polock. :) Those are the hot wires that all went to the orig fuse box(all red). I purchased a new fuse box from Chacal and had to lengthen the wires (in the same red) to get it to be able to go in my electric box. I do have many different colors to be able to match up to all the others. That should help with any future confusion IF I run into any issues. Fingers crossed!

    Thanks,

    JB
