my plans are
1)clubman bars. not sure what size fits yet.
2)redo the seat to flow into the rear fender
3) black header wrap
4) gloss black checkered racing stripe down the side and on my flat black helmet.
5) paint rims gloss black.
6) possibly remove front fender.
i'm sure more will come up. i'm excited this will be a fun project

rode it for the first time today. wow i love this bike. i have clubmans for it and i went to switch them then realized that the bike must of originally had the wires in the original bars, b/c the strait bar has a notch taken out of it for the wires to go back in to. so i sanded the straight bar to remove the surface rust that was on it and hit it with a little metal polish till i can modify the clubmans to work. will take some pictures soon but it's supposed to rain till monday :angry:
