well starting to get discouraged, after being outbid 3 times now on ebay for forks, swing arm and rims. I am still hunting, Don't get discouraged Curtis, it took me 3 years to find a decent set of headlamp ears for my 400.. SoupD.

No pictures today, forgot the camera, tomorrow though !
KZ forks installed KZ rims installed Clip on's semi installed (ya ya, I ditched the drag bar, plus I had the clip on's from an old bike)
The front axle I had wouldn't slide through the KZ forks, So I have to pick up the axle and spacers tomorrow night after work. And I need to modify the top tree like Drewski did for my clip on's for fit properly.
Had a nice chat with Brad (autofobe) Saturday night when I dropped off my old rims, forks, and fender to him, got quite a nice tour and a look at his bikes, that H1R frame is incredible!
Slowly making the way down the list, Need to find a good front master cylinder, rear master cylinder, brake lines, rear caliper. Re-build front calipers.
Didn't get any were on the headlights. I might screw around tomorrow night with them after I get the clip on's seated properly.

Picture Time Pulled the top triple clamp off tonight, ground down the original handlebar mounts. threw a quick coat of paint on it just so it didn't look like a welfare job. Adjusted the clip on's properly. Threw on the original headlight, and it looks better, so its staying for now... Started playing around with the 3into1 header, just sitting on the bike, but have taken alot of measurements and it should have great ground clearance and hopefully make power upwards of 9grand... Thought about using just one single gauge, but honestly, I think it looks a little funny.. So I will be ordering this The only indicators it will show are turn signals, high beam, RPM, speedometer, and then the max speed and clock, no fuel gauge (unless I can rig it up some way...?) My phone is being messed up and wont let me upload the pictures, keeps timing out.. Pics will come shortly..

I think the Acewell gas gauge works off of total mileage, so it's kinda best guess. My Acewell tach is kinda flakey but hopefully i can tune that out too.

Did you hook your tach wire through your center coil? When I emailed Acewell asking about installation on a 2stroke triple, they said to use the center coil for the tach.

No... wondered about that... will change it today, thanks for the tip.
