Let the build begin

The front fender was way to big for the look I wanted so I cut it and reshaped it to my liking


Next I worked on getting the exhaust off which proved to not be in my favor. I broke two bolts off in the head. So now the top end has to come off, which is good and bad. Bad I have to do the extra work but good I can fix the oil leak and paint the top end. After a few choice words I got back to work on the front end after already rebuilding and servicing the front breaks and putting on new pads, the forks needed work. I sanded them down and painted them.





As you can see from the picture above I also painted the headlight and speedo cover. I also added some shorty turnsignals. Next I put on the shortened fender.



After getting the front end close to being done. I changed the oil, then moved to the back of the bike to start work back there. I masked off the wheel and the rear diff. for paint and took off the rear shock. I wanted a set of custom shocks for it but did not want to mess up the ride, so I cleaned up the springs and painted the top and bottom black to give is a custom look.
