I have been wanting to get rid of the oil can reservoirs and found these off an SF from a DMF member.  I am still trying to balance them out but for a couple reason they will not get even.  I like the bars a lot, a little lower but the angle is what makes them comfortable.

Later : I forgot to mention compared to stock the angle of the SM bars makes it easier to keep your elbows in, almost forces them in a little, nice.

A new headlight and some carbon fiber...

Mockup >




Looking good already! Can't wait to see the final outcome.  I just got my housing in the mail, will be posting pics.

Get ready for a few pics.

I'm working on a new headlight project, inspired by a fellow member - Mr. Stormtrooper.

I bought an LED headlight:

Thanks to Stormtrooper, it's ready to plug-and-play

It's a little bright:



The long-term goal for the bike is to mix some vintage and modern elements to make a cafe-racer (with a child on the way, this just became a loooooong term goal  [roll]), so to that end, I bought a headlight housing from a 1966 Ducati Monza:




And of course, I had to start stripping it:


I didn't have time to take a decent pic of the bare metal version (ran out of daylight), but needless to say, updates will be upcoming.

On the wishlist:

 CRG Arrows! The little bitty round jobbies the DPO had on were ne'er worthless, even tho they were CRGs. And I have a fuse block with relay coming from Eastern Beaver.
The new bike has the slip on Termy kit and a 14 tooth sprocket, it has much nicer cold drivability than the crunched one did!

you jealous?


that's what it sounds like . . . ;D

Of course he's jealous.  Not many people can claim to be sexxxier than Duck Stew....well...not THAT many...OK...maybe I'm wrong.  OK....most people can claim to be sexier than Duck Stew...but still......

I'm not sexier than Duck Stew.  But my bike IS sexier than his bike!   [Dolph]
