Spectre 1100 conversion to a cafe type bike

I started this project a while ago but just found this site--so I thought I would post pics of where it started and where it is now. I like the gold of the Spectre but not a fan of the laid back roadster style of the bike so I thought I would switch things up a bit. So the first pic is what I started with.

Have the engine tore apart. Had a leak in the head somewhere and wanted to clear that up.

Frame, tank, front fender, and back cowl that I made are all painted. Also added a pinstripe so it matches up with the engine and front forks.

ok, so here is where I stand today---now working on wiring with a simple harness--doing with the simple method that was posted on this site in terms of wiring. Need to find a headlight.
