Started her up today. Here's a video.
List of things I need to do to finish:
waiting on master cylinder, install and bleed brakes.
seat (need to call air-tech)
hook up blinkers
adjust chain
change oil
grips
mirrors
Wish list:
new gauges
dual headlights

wrapped the exhaust, bled the brakes and took her out today. Need to bleed the brakes again, very squishy. Didn't go far I have no brake lights. I'll post a video tomorrow. I NEED REAR SETS BAD!

awesome work, sick bike and nice job on the honda. What exhaust did you use/have? I saw it was 4->1, if so where'd you get it, how'd you mod it? Sounds good too!

MB Co - I picked up a box cafe seat from air-tech. Takes a month to build and a 4 days to ship. I should have it around the begining of Feb.
**sorry man i re read it. I'm assuming you meant rear sets. I'm still looking into it. Trying to find the most cost effective way to do it.
RandomMX - I picked up two bikes and a lot of parts when i purchased. The 4-1 came with it, I believe it's a Mac. I'm running it open header. I wrapped it with titanium exhaust wrap up to the collector and polished the pipe. The Honda is my first project and took about 18 months to build. Fun bike.

Looks alright, but maybe a gpz tank would suit the tail better...

We put a sportster tank on it too, but didn't take a pic. It looked like shit.
