[Rockgs1000]

Good to hear you got it back together. Yeah glad mine is finally back up on two wheels again. I have to go through wiring harness again and tweak it for digital guage. And check valve clearence hope to fire it up soon and do a functions check of all systems.

[Rockgs1000]

Got my wiring all figured out and tucked away looks good got my rear blinkers working as well,

Looks like a rats best there buy much better now.

And my working blinkers from the back and tail light

Like where you can't tell the blinkers are there till they are lite up

Love the colour of that frame, looks great. I'm wishing I had painted mine something other than black now - gives it some more life.

lookin' good! i like the clubman bars on the wrong way. looks different.

I'd use an AGM battery on a frame that pretty.

[chucksuki]

I just noticed you have the old coils on there, no electronic ignition?

[Good Times]

At first I was like "aww man.... Orange?" But now I'm like, "wow orange!" Bike looks great. Love the signals. Excellent work.

[Rockgs1000]

The battery came with the bike when I bought it. It was a new battery so figured I give it a run since I already got it, those are the original coils I assume but I do have a dyno ignition on it found that good surprise when I started to do the valve job

[Rockgs1000]

Thanks for the compliments, I know Harley does the orange black scheme but I had to use my favorite color just so happens black goes well with it

[chucksuki]

Nice find indeed! My wife's fav color is orange, probably cuz her bday is on halloween. how close til your done?

[Rockgs1000]

I have to paint my tank and swap shims I have one valve out of specs. Then I should be able to fire it up and ride.

[Rockgs1000]

I painted my tank tonight got six coats of clear on it. Gonna let it dry and wet sand with 2000 and polish it. Looks good for my first ( custom) paint. Stripes were pretty easy to do.

[chucksuki]

Nice!!!!!!

[Good Times]

Looks really great. What kind of paint did you use? Can't wait to see it after you color sand it.
