Getting closer to a daily driver.

Got some 80’s gold all in one picture  
Shop hangs 
Got a mtn bike dropper lever for the new decomp lever. Feels great compared to all the plastic ones I’ve ever used. 
Now I get to learn about rollers and springs, let’s make a wheelie bike that goes 50! 


 Got some cables wrapped up and got the wires tucked in. Just need to find out what wires need what end to fit correctly into the stock wiring harness. 


Got the old key out of the stock light and made a hole for it in the new bucket. Feels nice to have some stock Honda stuff still doing its job. 

Soon I’ll dig into the wires, variator, seat cover and floorboards. 
Basically this is now my todo list with a few pictures.

New treats and marketplace deals

Getting new tire on soon but the fork springs are cut to get the hobbit from chopper to proper. 

Took 9 coils off each side to drop it about 3 inches. The spring had a progressive coil on it so I cut the softer end to help keep the fork from bottoming out now that it’s shorter travel. 

The kickstand just sits level and I have to weld something on the bottom of the feet if I want to be able to pedal it on the kickstand. 

Never thought I’d post here again, but here I am and maybe one or two folks will see this and get stoked. 

Got new tires, bars, light, throttle and cable stops from treats. Then snagged a Facebook marketplace deal on some nicer tires and now the stoke to get this together is high
