It has been a while but here is where I am at. Forks lowered an inch and new tappered bearings. New headlight, bars and speedo. Boyer ignition, because Pamco's was not out when I got the boyer. I relaced the rims and should have them trued by tomorrow. Top end was also rebuilt.

Yes, it is scotts. I was the first person to get the little holes in the flanges. I told him I didn't want the plain ones and would rather have mikesxs ones. He made them to match the holes in the bars. They look great. They are chrome wait until I get them on. No inspection yet. The front fender will only be on for when I take it for inspection and then it comes right off. Good use for that fender.

I am very happy with the way it turned out. Thanks to whoever made the pattern. there are cooler patterns but more holes than I wanted to drill.

Are those 7/8" Zbars? Where did you get the pattern to drill your rotor? I want to drill mine but I am too lazy to do the pattern.

The bars are technically called mini apes. The are the 8" mini apes at www.road6customs.com

joshua: The regulator/rectifier unit I got from Mikes PMA has closer hole spacing than original. Are we supposed to mill the holes to fit? Jun 7, 2017 19:25:58 GMT -5

joshua: My bad. I found the bracket they supplied to mount the rectifier/regulator... Uh oh. How is this meant to work? Which way is it meant to mount? Looks like I have to use some spacers or something. Good instructions would be nice. Jun 7, 2017 22:09:52 GMT -5
