Only one like it. You had fun putting this one together

Ha ha yep! I've gotta get back on 2 wheels! [ddd

Well the wiring turned out to be easier than I thought. Everything is ran except for 2 wires that are the wrong color as the diagram. I'll just have to try starting it and see which one goes where. Got the ignition box mounted and added an old bottle opener to the neck. Also I got my wheels back with the NOS tires mounted. Plan on having a startup day later this week

It's ALIVE!!!! She fired on the first try. I need to rejet the carbs for the exhaust and pod filters, but she runs.

I striped the tank on it today, inked did the lace and fade with good ol rustoleum rattle cans and cleared it with engine enamel also rattle can, the stripes are custom mixed 1SHOT

" What happened?" lol yeah im a friend of inked the bike happened he hasnt touched it since the bike build got rockin n rollin. the cab and front sheet metal are mocked up on the new (1980) chevy 2wd frame it has a good 6 and 4spd in it, its just taking up space in waiting to get worked on

 

[Inked Monkey]

Yeah, I've been working on the bike in all my spare time. Which isn't much with grad school and work. Now that the bike's painted, i've been informed that it's done and need to start wrenching on the 52 again.
