WOW. That sure is pretty. Is this gonna be a rider?I'd be afraid of it myself. May just set there on the sofa and look at it for a while EH.

Totally this will be a daily rider. By the way if anyone is looking for those chrome rings between the fork shrouds and headlight brackets I have some on ebay. I had two sets and chromed them both but only needed one set. More pics to come. The wheels are sitting ing a corner waiting to be dealt with and I'm afraid I'm going to have cough up the big bucks to get them re-chromed.

I found some rims from XS650 direct that could work on the rear. 2.15X18 36 hole alloy. anyone had any experience with these? The hub dia. and width and spoke to spoke hole is basically the same as stock and the price is less than rechromeing. Thanks

Moving along... new rear wheel in place with alloy rim and a tire (Avon) that looks too big to me , 400X18 but I'll see when I can bounce up and down on it. Seat is in the shop getting new rubber and cover and I'm hooking up the wiring. Last big piece is the front wheel and having a hard time tracking down a 160X18 alloy rim but will keep looking. Motocicli Veloci has the correct ones but I'm still trying to figure out how to order from them....
