It is finished...

From this, a 1969 Honda CB350:


To this, a 1969 Honda CB350 with improvements:


















I had hoped to make a better video, but it was sooooooooooo hot today, and I forgot to film something when we were taking the pictures.  So, another day.  

It's been a long time coming, but finally the bike is done.  Took just a little over a year, which I think is pretty good, considering that year was the 3rd year of medical school for me.  Proof that you can always find time for the things you want.  (Yes, I spent time with Sydney as well, although I'm sure she's glad the building is over.)  

It's way faster than I expected.  The riding stance is very comfortable.  And I'm more than pleased with the seat that I made and covered.  It's more comfortable than I thought it would be.  

I plan to get bar-end mirrors for it, but couldn't wait and just threw a mirror on that I had.  

So, yeah.  There she is.
