Original Picture.

This is how it stands right now.  I'm at a stopping point until I get parts back from fabricator.

Custom built one of a kind header - 4 into 2 into 1.

Vance & Hines muffler, ceramic coated.

K&N pod filters.

Billet aluminum brake stay arm.  Tungsten grey covers, rechromed brake pedal.

I hid the horn in the original air cleaner box.

It has this lid that goes over it.

And this cover.  Seat latch and hinge are in place just waiting for the seat.

Hard to see, but the top engine breather is coated in the same color as the case covers.  Billet aluminum valve adjustment caps.

One of the brake lines that will get put into place once I have the front fender.

New Nissin master cylinder and new lines.

Very bright Halogen headlight.  Front lights have daytime running.

As well as signals.

All lights in pod have been checked and are operational.   Obviously the instruments are missing.

Rechromed chain guard and new 530 o-ring chain.

Bar end mirrors are very adjustable for riding and storage.

Until I get the front fender I can't bend the brake line or determine if the hoses are the correct length.  Things changed a bit with the smaller master cylinder and different bars.  Lines are custom built stainless with a black sheathing.
