Merry xmas everyone

Clutch cable

After changing the bars so drastically we had to hit up the guys at MotionPro to get a custom made clutch cable. They have a pretty fast turn around so this should be on the road soon, then its time for all the good part: road testing!

The Seat is Finished

With lots of help from Corinna over at viameccanica.com we have a finished seat.

Pinstriping!

Our good friend Kerry P. came over to throw some sweet copper lines on the bike.

in the bike

Everything is so rusty. Metal rescue is this great non toxic rust remover. It comes in 5 gallon buckets so pretty much everything gets a bath when it comes off the bike.

But it's like magic for rust.

Cleaning out all the stock electrical garbage and de-tabbing the frame.

What a mess.

Frame De-tabbed

This bike is going to have white as the accent color. here are the carbs cleaned and painted and reassembled.

Time to start the clean up. Carb tops first.

Motor day one

this bike has been sitting outside in Brooklyn, NY for over four years.
