T's Bike progress, outdated now, but better late than never..

Here's T's work in progress. By now, its got the electrical almost wrapped up, the carbs hooked up, the cables working, brake light installed, headlight working, etc. She just needs some oil and gas and we should have her running. Then a chain and she's on the road again. It's a cb650 platform, which we stripped, ground down, and cut off all excess material. He wanted to keep to a non-ridgid for comfort and driveability. The frame and swingarm was stripped, blasted and coated with Copper Vein. The forks, brakes, triple trees, and other odds and ends were coated in Super Mirror Gloss Black. Brake levers and starter covers were coated in Metallic Gold. Who is dis guy??
Black Sparto tailight and seat completion should really pull it together.

Tank still has some more work to do, but it is definately getting closer.

The rear fender was welded into the stock frame. Some shorty shocks and a beefy rear tire complete the rear end.
