bike looks damn good.

lots of good work there.......thanks for the update!

thanks guys!

sounds like alot of heart and soul in that bike, nice job!!!

thanks man! along with heart and soul theres also blood, bits of flesh and hair and a few grain pails worth of sweat, lol not to mention you can see the progression of my welding abilities, from the birdshit welds on the seat mounts, to the globby several times welded monster beads on the frame, to the minute and teedious welds on the speedometer bracket, to the smooth, blue unground beads on the exhaust pipes, hahah its all there, from zero to hero. lol i love this bike, if i had to have one bike the rest of my life id have this one, i probably will anyways. there will be other bikes, but theyll all be the "other" bike.

Looks good, takes me back many many years.

that makes my whole day man! thanks!

okay heres a pile more updates guys! okay so the front end is done now, finally got a better headlight on it! found an old sporty peice at a shop damadged, headed for the cheap bin and i nabbed the fucker. also switched to dirtbike bars, theyre not as comfy but more practical and alot less chance of injuring my wrists again, those tall bars amplify rough roads too much, and they didnt suit the bike, so theyre gone. anyways also wrapped the pipes, and finished up a better tag/tail mount, and probably lots of other shit im forgetting cause my brains kinda mushy that way.

pics!

i llike the bars! why the tape on the headlight????

its an old cafe racer thing, makes it more distinct in traffic. gonna get a smiley face with x's for the eyes made at my buddys vinyl shop on monday haha. trying to take a solid classic japper back to her roots, keep her a little more sport-esque.

k well did some paint work, still got some other stuff i wanna do with her, but ill post up some pics sometime today if i get a chance. shes still not that much to look at but shes fast and she always runs, thats the important thing.

i think ya did a great job......it has nice lines to it, and you did it yourself!!!!!!!!! that makes it even better!!!!

Just saw the video, Now I have 6 meg high speed.
Like your tatoo on the fore arm too.
Great work on the shifter.

2nd that thought.............................................
