Pretty sweet build! Im almost tempted to post up a build thread for my bike. Let me know how you like those turn signals. I was actually looking at those for my bike as well. Also are you running resistors for them or LED flashers? ---

I had the same turn signals on my SV650, I loved them.

I know 😕 I need a couple really good wrenching days. I borrowed a motorcycle jack from a buddy so I can get it up in the air and go to town. I just want to patch the tank, paint it, paint the wheels and swingarm black, make new bars, make a new shift linkage, swap the suspension, relocate the electrics to under the seat, build a new wiring harness, and shorten my cables and brake hoses to clean up the front end a lot. THATS ALL! ---
