Here's my ongoing project. These are the parts i've replaced so far.
Front and rear tires
6pcs brakes
windscreen
headlight
signal lights
LED lights
Fluid lines
Clutch lines
Sliders
new grips
rear footpeg
Chrome horns
new seat (the seat is now a single seater. Also modified the frame
new switches
new brake and clutch master
Digital voltmeter
digital speedometer gauge. (i'll take a picture once i'm finished wiring it all up)
and a whole bunch of other stuff as well







The LED headlight makes a whole lot of a difference.
I haven't really decided on what color the bike should be. I'll probably get decided once i source out a new fuel tank.

ps. pardon me for the background. I haven't mowed my lawn  :sarcastic:

With the cross brace cut off....How did you tie each half of the perimeter frame rails together?

I haven't done any modifications to the cross brace yet. All I did was cut. I'm still searching online for reference on the frame modification to give it a cleaner look.

Pat Conlon

Be careful until you do. You have the potential for a unstable condition.
I would not ride it until then.

I doubt you will find the answer online. You need to consult an expert in frame design.

I do like the rear end of this project, looks stock, nicely done. However please please please brace up the the front of the frame, it might feel OK but the extra stress will start to crack parts of the frame (check head-stock) or even engine casings.  Overall nice looking bike, especially the back end from side view.  Russ

HA HA!!! I know, right?

OP: Please don't go randomly hacking off parts of the frame without consulting a qualified engineer, and I would definitely not take that bike on the road and put other people's lives at risk before that frame is corrected.

I am of the older generation and hate to see classic bikes in anything other than original configuration. But in this case I really like the looks of this bike. It took a lot of work and is tastefully done. Great job.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Thanks Dave.  I wanted to give it a unique but decent look(in my opinion)  . Kinda like a muscle bike.

I see it was last January when you first posted your mods, so did you get your frame fixed? 
I'm curious to see what you did and how it turned out.

I suppose the easiest cheapest fix just get hold of another frame and keep that really good looking back end. Some mods just look c@@p but the does look factory........... ever thought of cutting the back out of the headlight pod to go over and hide the front part of the frame????  just a thought.  Russ

Nice job. I have a similar project and will post some pics soon.
I have been looking for a screen/fairing similar to yours - where did you source yours ?

I also swapped to EFI ( Spitronics ), changed wheels for 17", shortened frame and am looking for more height in a tandem seat that can carry a passenger, as I am tall ( 6'5"), so installed firmed fork springs. I want more ground clearance than the 4into1 offers, so will fit a 4into2 that is shallower.
Also will fit a lithium battery ( smaller size) . Also many other mods, and some panels will be needed to hide the ugly bits of the external frame.
Hoping to have intake assembly done this week then  start final assembly and finishing and will post some updated pics then.
Cheers, enjoy & ride safe !
Thanks,
Ian Williams
