Nice job ! I am in the middle of a bobber build of my 1977 standard. What headlight bucket did you use? Also, what speedometer did you use? How were you able to do that? Thanks !

Thank for the great feedback!! The headlight is off a hodaka and needed a little customizing to get a 2.5 inch mini speedo in there… As for the rear fender it does move with the swing arm 🙂 stay tuned for more at Facebook.com/OldSoulYoungBlood

Regarding the Keihin carbs off mikes… Carbs where tuned by one off the best mechanics around (David maya) he took the carbs apart back together along with the engine because he could not understand why he could not get it perfect… Very Long story short, Engine is in Perfect condition, carbs are not worth the amount of time you will spend trying to get the tuning near right… Contact me and I’ll let ya know more oldsoulyb@gmail.com

Nice job. I dig the flow of the tank and the seat. Also curious about HL/speedo combo. That is what I’m seeing, right? that front brake m/c looks new as well. Also, does the rear fender pivot with the swingarm? Looks good!

What did your headlight come off of? It looks like one off of an old Sears or Allstate from the 60’s. Did you retrofit an old bucket to accept a newer style clock. I like the look.
