NICE!!!   

STOP IT -- you're making me want one!

I really dig the actually-retro looks of Stu's and now yours.
(am afraid to go look at mark / motocreation's site)

Not sure what you are planning on, but I'd save the complication of trying to make a shifter work w/rear set, and just go suicide shit 

A thumb rear brake on the left side would be easy/clean as well

Sorry so long with no update. Been busy with crap around the house.  I'm starting to get stuck on stuff. I found some killer looking dirtbike pegs that I really want to try to make work but it's going to be quite a bit of work. I also looked at just using a set of black forward controls for a Harley or something. What did you use on yours Stu?
I love the idea of the clip-ons with the rise to them, those are nice! I may end up with something like that. I'm running with the bars right now, that may change as it all comes together.
I'm also stumped on hand controls, I'm going to put on some stock goldlines for now, which should work great, I just hate the pee cup reservoirs. The suicide shifter may become an option!
I'll post some new pics tonight when I get home.

Well, I got a pair of old Suzuki passenger pegs and modded them to run on my custom bracketry because they folded up nicely.  A necessity on THAT low of a bike!  I used to drag the shit out of them. 

Gadammit I miss that make the beast with two backsin' bike.

That's why there's another in the......wait.....  nah, I'll post up later with more info.

We've already seen the front brake rotor. I can almost say we've seen the wheel, but it was mostly hiding behind the rotor.

Ya tease.

I actually though about those, my buddy has a 749, and that gave me the idea. I'm having a hard time finding a full set though.

Rizoma makes some billet reservoirs for the gold lines. Yes, you've still got a cup hanging out on the bars, but at least its shiny.

[TAftonomos]

Just build the reservoir into the bar.  Machine some threads on the end of a piece of pipe, fishmouth the pipe to fit the bar, weld to the bar.

Drill hole, tap hole, install nipple for fluid feed.  Machine threads in cap, knurl radius of cap, done.

Simple/Clean.

Anxious to see what you can do with the tank.

None that I've got on my puter.  I lived in daytona for almost 8 years, and every year at bike week/biketoberfest I've seen some of the wildest custom things done.  You guys should look into the custom chopper thing if you want ideas....those guys have crazy ideas
