Hey Jacob, great write up and pictures thank you for sharing,
Had a question about the Lepera seat;
Can the back be lowered a bit or does it have to be up like that,
Is it a fiberglass or metal pan?
Thanks

Looks awesome, I absolutely love that seat.
The tank is a little far back for my tastes but thats just my opinion. Looks killer man!

[nuklhd]

rethink that tank idea. I dig the rest of it.

got any vodka

Maybe I misunderstood the question. Lost in translation)))
The seat could be a bit of a stretch-straighten.
Metal.

got any vodka

I don't drink and don't smoke!!!)))


Gas tank and rear fender to be painted.

Help.
The difference between the photos is only half of the turnover of the clutch basket. Stretch the same.
Why so can be?

Tank fits the style your afte . The Japanese style bikes typically mount the tanks far back on the backbone like he has it. Looks spot on ,to me.this isn't the Frisco style everyone is building on this site .

I'd say the Transmission is not aligned properly, you might have to shim it.

[47str8leg]

Not my style ,but I can appreciate good work when I see it.

[BuYakov]

Guys.
In addition to ebay, where I can buy different items nos oem?
For example, I want to find old nos oli gauge mpn 75012-82, and other items.

[OleDirtyDoc]

Sweet shovel

[lilmad]

I would shim the bracket between your engine and tranny...with it being over top of your bearing support it is probably putting stress on your alignment. On mine I shaved the bearing support a bit and shimmed the front mount

It's broken clutch hub!)))

Do you know what shock studs you have on the round swing arm that you can fit 1/2" shock bushings?
