Looking awesome! I actually like the gauge pods, though, and I would hate to not have a tach...

how far along are you? spoked wheels arent bad, but i liked the invader wheels esp if i got them rechromed, but i dont want to mess with wheel size changes.

wishing i had kept my original ones, then i may consider keeping the huge gauges.. but i think they look way too big compared to the rest of the bike.

as per the tach.. never look at it, i shift based on the feel and sound of the bike. i dont wring it out to red line on this thing h:

I have to re-assemble the rebuilt carbs' linkage, rebuild brakes, run cooling lines, weld exhaust and give everything a once over.

i quickly looked into it.

the mufflers, and the seat. the seat doesnt have the rear hump, and you need the longer tailpipe. just my opinion.

keep it going tho.

Not sure what bikes go for up there - but you'd get at least double where I'm at. If you see yourself riding it - keep it.
