You can see I took the mufflers off. This was just to get a sense of what it would look like with straight pipes, which is what I eventually want, but I don't intend on running it with just the headers (I'm not in the mood for an exhaust valve bbq).

As she sits...
Here is a pic of my 360 as of 4/21/10. This is a mock up for now, still need to finish up the tank (acid etch, finish sanding, clear coat), carbs (clean and reinstall, no rebuild required yet), and sort out the wiring harness etc.

Check out BikeEXIF
Bike EXIF is a kick ass site with awesome bikes. You will get lost for hours surfing through it. Thought I should share.
Should call this FailBlog but that would be infringement.
Just realized how long it has been since I posted any updates. Not that anyone reads this anyway.
I have surprisingly accomplished a lot since my last post, though not as much as I would like due to school/women/money/other excuses.
The good news:
It actually looks like a motorcycle now.
The bad news:
I have to start spending money on parts as most of the elbow-grease portion of the build is over, and I am an unfortunately cheap bastard college student (for less than 2 more months though!!!).
Things needed:
Tires, chain, gaskets, carb rebuild and petcock rebuild kits (luckily the carb diaphragms are in excellent shape), sealed gel battery (the brand new acid batt. the bike came with won't hold a charge because the kid who had the bike before me was using it with only about half as much acid solution as it should have had), and of course I still need to change all the fluids.
Things wanted:
A running motorcycle.
If I get all of that stuff I am pretty sure the little pup should fire right up, maybe I should bite the bullet and just start spending money.
Some pics will be coming up soon
