I had an Acewell like that. Make sure you get the bike outside in the sunlight before you carve the bracket mount in stone. Sit on the bike and make sure you can read the gauge in direct sunlight. They can be a bitch to see from certain angles..

One more suggestion. FWIW

If you put some modern wheels on it, 17" on both ends, that you can mount some wider rubber on, you will not regret it. The difference is night and day in cornering with confidence....

Good to hear, or else I would be doing a poor job of building a cafe racer :woohoo:

I appreciate the constructive input and will look at the possibility of putting on some wider rubbers like you mentioned in another post. This will have to come in a second stage, as I am prioritizing on having the bike ready for spring time.

*Facepalm* how did a 13-year-old playing Call of Duty end up here?

Anyway, nice build. I'm curious how the gold parts will look next to the wheels - the wheels look more subtle (love that colour), but it could be the lighting. Keep it up!

Seriously, that's probably the most immature crap I've seen on kzr. Keep it up Tommy, do it right and it'll be worth it

Thanks for the support. I am going to do it right and not fuck up. Promise ;-)

Right now I havre laid out all the electronics creating a harness. Man that's a lot of work making a new harness from scratch.

Your on the right track keep it up. Building a harness from scratch is definitely a lot of work. Take your time with it and it will be worth it. I have to do the same thing on my bike.

Sorry your still getting negative feedback from immature members. Don't let them drag you down!
