ripper

seems like it's going to be a fun bike.

Still have a bunch of shaking down to do.
*Complete re-wire needed.
*Front brake caliper needs to be re-built.
*exhaust pipes need to be secured.
*shocks need to be spaced, re-mounted, and the lowering block needs some hardware (Danno, you were right with that bolt that goes all the way through...).
Spent the day with the carbs, have them pretty good, not perfect, but workable.
the high tech brake light is from auto-zone, used Bens suggestion of grounding it to it's own mount. Works ok (for now..).

Awesome Thomas...glad you got some wheels!! What u end up using for coils?

I ordered the coils from this guy in Minneapolis, Lowriders by Summers. He's a old school chopper legend guy who works on cb's. Same guy I got the exhaust collars, baffles, and shocks from.

The bike is running, but not ready to really do any miles just yet...
