Welp, I experienced a change of heart a few weeks ago. I got rid of those janky headlight brackets and put the headlight back where it belonged, so i'm basically starting over now.
I got a (one) mirror off of another project bike i'm working on and put everything back to the way it was.

Then i got some new toys, a nice new air filter and a 16t countershaft sprocket

We got all shined up to go to the Iron and Clematis vintage motorcycle festival

We even got a shout out from a discussion board talking about ways to go vintage racing!

I decided to try the foam filter mod

Then we got a nice(ish) Supertrapp pipe

The paint on these is very, very thin. I managed to remove a bunch of it just during assembly and packing, also not counting the two times it's fallen off now.

Tomorrow we're going to test fit a new round headlight I found at a swap meet. Also ordered the Thumperstuff header and a set of Progressive fork springs today.
