Despite tornadoes in my backyard, snow, death, divorce, joblessness, school jiggery pokery and my family getting completely sick of dealing with me over this bastard, I'm almost done...wiring, chain, carb, and the finer details is all that's left, before I can take it around the block and watch half the pieces fall back off and my zip ties bust apart:
Bike looks good ! I would be careful in the right hand turn's with that generator case exhaust pipe on the front might be a little low. Hate to see you get into trouble on a tight turn. Just my opinion but hey, skin is'nt cheap.
At least you did not mention food stamps. Tell your ex friends and wives to kiss your ass, and go for a ride. You will forget all your problems, if only for a little while.
look better than mine ( not on my bike at the moment haha)
Maybe if you ran them directly off of the pump towards the middle and then over the top of the tranny and then split up to the different spigots. This would give it a nice solid flow of lines in a group that split up at each end. Follow the underside curve of the exhaust pipes for the rear two lines while the front line splits up almost at the start.
I wimped out and ran rubber lines for now. At least I can get around without spewing oil...now there's HUGE difference in power-weight ratio as compared to before...and you could tell the engine was wore slap ass out before. I think this one's a keeper.
Just after this, I wired in the lights and the whatnot.
Still a lot of little things to do, but it's back to being a vehicle, instead of a fashion accessory/ conversation piece /soul-crushing curse:

At least you got your priorities straight!
Great bike you got.
Thanks...here's how it looks now. I think I toasted a head gasket this weekend, but otherwise it feels pretty fuckin good. Got a few changes I want to do yet...so I guess it'll be always "almost done".
I love that bike, but it looks a little too...uh...normal coming from you? I think it needs some baby doll heads some where!
