Looking good! I can appreciate the amount of time that goes in to doing a custom, and in your case. it looks like time wellspent. Enjoy it brother.

Thanks Davomoto! I couldn't have built this without the great help of the forum and the riders here! Thanks to you I was able to finish the rear rim. Also, a big shout out to Lee for the seat pan.
Now, I'm thinking what to build next! I'll probably build a Ducati Monster. I want something more modern and as an everyday long distance rider. Something that will handle better in the twisties. I already dragged the left side centerstand trying to do a little corning. I may redo the exhaust into something higher or do a CL style exhaust.

Hey thanks! You have a great ride too. I'm working on uploading a video. I'm having trouble with my site at the moment. When it's up, I'll let you know. It does sound good though. Very typical sohc sound but a little more bass than the cb175 I was used to. There was a little camchain noise before I retightened it.

Ok, I've uploaded a couple videos on Flickr. There is a slight tick near the head that gets louder as I rev it. It sounds like normal valve ticking. Let me know what you think.

I did but it seems not right. If it's noisy, is it too tight or loose? I suspect loose since I used a .004" cut down feeler. I'll redo it tighter.
