Title: Almost done!! Even rode it for the first time tonight!!
Post by: relic on April 02, 2014, 08:35:41 PM

Almost done!! Started right up and even went for a ride!! Just have to run the wires to tail light!   Just want to give a huge Thank you to Wayne Mahaffey!  When ever I found myself questioning something he was always a just a phone call away! And always answered even some of my most basic questions...Thanks again!

You'll have to post updated pics with the 'new' seat .

Very nice bike!  If your exhaust is original (not one of Waynes reproductions) you may find the exhaust tip wraps to be a little tight (Wayne uses slightly smaller O.D. tubing).  I had to sand some of the paint off of my pipes in order to get Waynes wraps & tips to go on.
