OK so here is where I am with my bike. It's my only running bike at the moment so I can't take it down for longer than a weekend without going crazy.
The headlight is an xs650 I believe, aluminum flat bars bent for the mounting brackets for it. Speedo off a gz250. I wired in relays so the blinkers would both light a single idiot light on the dash. Seat is the front of the ex500 seat chopped and bolted to a monster seat and currently just vinyl stretched over it for a cover. I will be grafting the two original seat covers together to hopefully get a better fit. Turn signals and tail light are clearance markers with the stock bulb plugs in. Tail light idea I stole from someone on this site, I forget who, but thanks
I still have lots in mind, 01 gsxr 750 swinger swap but keep the stock rim. Better forks but waiting on a good ebay deal.
The theme of this project is cheap. $400 bike off CL with under $300 worth of parts to make it pretty, cheap on gas, cheap small tires for it. I found I can get pirelli scooter tires for the big maxi scooters for the 16" rims for $120 a pair and they are supposedly really good tires.
