| Very nice. That's the sort of bike I'd like to build next if I can ever get round to finishing off some other projects first. Looking forward to seeing it with the motor in. What sort of pipes is it going to have?

| Oh by the way re the indicators - if you havent already got the issue sorted - I just found out you dont need them for pre 1978. Your bike is well inside that date. Apparently not many inspectors know this but the rule say something like " pre 1978 MAY have indicators post 1978 MUST have indicators. PM me and I will send you back the web link for the motorcycle lighting rules - Im a new member so can not post external web addresses for some period. (as I have been trying to do for the last 5 minutes hahaha) No indicators for sure - keeps the lines nice and clean and saves time and hassles when you get to the wiring. It probably also the reason god gave us arms - so we can point which way we're going | |
