Yeah, put me in the like category too. The bike has a great classic standard (UJM) look.

Moving the foot controls will go a long way in making the bike more comfortable.

Yep, at 6'3" I'm not comfortable on this bike in stock form.  But I bought it with the intention of changing it.

Stock shocks.  Going for the low stance.  I think they will work out fine but I can go longer if needed, but I want to keep the fender relatively close the the rear wheel.  Of course everything is subject to change.

Here's a rear view.  The fender is from a Honda CL175 I think.

No, they are actually the forks off of the parts bike.  I put new seals in and lowered them them 2", Ryca style.

No.  The stand pops the front wheel off the ground just a bit.  That's why I propped up the rear wheel with a 2x4.  So the bike is pretty much level.  I was just trying to get a visual on what I have to work with.  

They bike already handles light years better (even though the forks are a bit limited in their performance).  The lower fork and taller rear wheel really helped.  And, I still have options.   I could use an 18" front wheel, longer shocks, longer shocks and stock forks, etc...  I'm not dead set on anything at this point.  Where it goes, it goes.  Just want it to look and function at a decent level.  

Keep the pics coming as it progresses

My family is from Youngstown/Boardman area

Here is a rough draft of the fender, subframe and my new (and slightly longer) seat.  

I still plan on using the gold GT185 tank but didn't want to cut my OEM tank mounts off just to mock it up on my bike just yet.  (Supposed to warm up next week!)  But, I think I could make this work with the stock tank too.

My subframe isn't exactly where I'll have it.  It got late on me last night so I didn't fine tune the length or anything.  But I'm satisfied that I'll be able to make this work.

Very cool , low , like it !
When you have a minute , please measure the seat height
Thanks
