Here is a link to the rebuild thread on this bike.

It takes a long time to load but it is a good overview of the build.

Here is what I started with last year...

My painter used Inferno Orange, a color available on the 2010 Camaro... Awesome work! Hard to see but there is white and blue pearl in it....

So here she is, the first bike I have ever done a nut and bolt restoration on. I have fixed lots of bikes before but never done such an in depth rework. Tons of work but so much fun to do. It is pretty much a stock setup except for the turn signals and home made mounts. I liked the square signals better and made stubby mounts to draw them in closer. It is now a 700cc motor, wich was also taken apart to the last screw and put together with a mess of shiny new parts. I have a few things left. I am thinking about the seat maybe...

Anyway thanks for looking
