Great work bro.
The drums rock and the naked look (sans rear fender is sweet)
I have a feeling that my rear fender is coming off soon.
Like one of the guys mentioned about the rear taillight, keep off the rear fender and get a 74 900 taillight and fab a bracket to mount it there for a little cleaner look.
Awesome work and I like the white paint scheme.

I like how you kept it simple, but me and tape don't work to well, and I would bob those fenders with a rounded edge. Tail light would look better under tail maybe? But really good pics, they do show alot of detail, pretty good photographer!

The only thing better than the sound of a carburettor opening is the sound of 4 carburettors opening simultaneously!

Nice job! I like the handlebars... Where'd you get them?
Where's the master cylinder? You don't believe in front brakes either? I thought I was the only one!

Very, very nice. Looks very clean and sharp. I think that rear fender is going to work. It will help balance the upward sweep of the seat. Should look good painted. Post some pics when it's done.

I'm hoping he'll get to them very soon. They both need some work before they'll be paintable, but I'mm hoping to have them by next weekend...

Well I broke down and ordered a nice single cat eye tail light (it's 1 5/8 x 6" aprox) It should fit pretty flushly under the fender...I hope...
I also ordered a brand-new fuel cap and petcock as mine has had issues and the seals are all dried out anyway. when I seald the tank the sealer got under the lock cover so the gas cap couldn't be unlocked to latch it down...lame...and I cleaned it multiple times after application...
