Ok , its been a while but almost complete, borrowed a pipe to fire it up and ride, need to pick up a black 4-1, choose a front fender,bar end mirror, that should do it, rode it 23 miles, aside from a petcock leak at tank and rear break being a pain to bleed, runs, rides,and handles great.
Sorry pics aren't good will try to do better when its all done.
Mike

Wow! Super clean! I knew your bike would turn out this way from the beginning. I could see it even in the early stages. Nice work. Are you going to run it with no turn signals?

Yes, going without turn signals, wanted to keep it clean and tight, just going to have to get a mirror I can see out of lol.
Thanks for the compliments.

Finally cut down the front fender and installed, also bought a used Mac exhaust from a member here painted it and made a bracket to hang the muffler since I got off the rear peg mounts.
Thanks to all on this forum for help and inspiration with this project. On to a 72 H1 Triple project now.
