Beautiful work there! Obviously a labor of love.  
I'm speeding because I have to get there before I forget where I was going.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Motorat, those are Rivco riser. Got them from Brent at NewSpeedmaster.com I guess I got short arms because the bars always seemed to far away. Now I can sit straight up and loose with out having to reach out for the bars.

Thanks for all the kind words. Even though she was totaled, she was my first and I could not stand the thought of junking her. The rebuild was part of the healing process.
FYI: An older lady tried to run me over. It was the avoiding her that made me wreck. Since then I added the extra lights and replaced my Black jacket with a Day Glow Yellow jacket. I care about riding, not fashion. : )

Looks to me like you buried the wires inside the bars. That sure cleans things up!!

Yep, the wires are in the bars. It looks good but its a PITA to get them there. Should have used thinner wire I think.
