I like the clip-ons and the rusty frame. I will try the first one. Thanks.

I've cleared up and moved the solenoid and fusebox into the first aid box. Now they are together with a smal lithium battery. I'm thinking about an m.unit blue and eliminate the fuse box. I also want to lower the bike, unlinik the brake and put a clutch cable.

The only easy way to do a cable actuated clutch is if that's an '84 motor. If so, the early clutch cover will bolt right up. If not, it'll be a bit more challenging.

I got a cheap tank and try to weld it myself. Let's see how it is, otherwise I'll give it in order.

Whats your plans for the fuel tank?

The fork tops, I bought these for mine and Im pretty sure you have the same forks as I do, the antidive ones.

I meant the small holes of the air suspension, not the fork cap. I would like to close the tank flat, so that I can make the seat like the red line in the picture bevor.
