Looks great! What color did you end up using on the frame?

Looking good Dennis, I especially dig that plastic factory left brake lever! LOL Glad we could do some "good ol fashioned horse trading"

[dennis d]

Thanks guys ! BJ,i figured you would like the left lever best of all.:21:
Paint was done by Motor City Mintrails,not sure of exact color but it was exactly what i was looking for.Racer X,what color is this ?
Motor is currently being done by cttrailbikes,should have it back soon.I'll try and post some better pics when motor arrives.

Real eye candy Dennis. What are you running for a seat/pan?

 

[dennis d]

Yes it is candy,it's a dead on match to the original before it was painted.The seat pan is an original '69 with the original bolt on tool kit holder.I'm going to have an upholstery shop do my cover,hopefully they can copy the original alot better than the covers presently available.It's also got the original 2 piece horn.Now if i could just find a '69 exhaust in mint condition.LOL

Update

Getting close.Hopefully bike will be complete in another month.I need to post some newer pics,now have motor,wheels,etc... Still have some plating and misc. parts to gather.
Here's what i accomplished yesterday.I bought a new exhaust in hoping to duplicate a '69 exhaust and hopefully not ruin a new OEM one.I cut the tip off at the weld, and got to say it looks as good as an original.The baffle even fits back with no problems other than having to drill a new hole for the baffle retaining bolt.This was the only thing i was trying to figure out what to do, since i knew i would never find a NOS '69 exhaust for it.

Kevin,
Are you by chance a "Texan" :27:
Or is your avatar a Puerto Rican flag?? :24:

Kevin,
Are you by chance a "Texan" . . .

Guess I'm not very subtle, huh?
