Wiring a CB500/550 mutt

First, take it by the head and pull. (Make sure you get the whole spinal cord)

 Second, find a cool 70's diagram on how to wire a chopper...

 Consult the shop manual... (What the fuck?!?)

Pitch the extra crap (safety switches, warning lights, whatever the law doesn't require, etc) and hope for the best...of course they changed a whole bunch of colours and shit from the 500 to the 550, and I have a random assortment of bits from both.

Results to follow...

CSIK's Mr. Pink

Had an adventure shooting Csik's Mr. Pink bike on Saturday. Felt like the skateboarding days all over again getting chased off by the police...twice. Sheesh. What a rube. Pics turned out great. Look for them on the magazine stand cuz this shhits about to blow up!!

Dekay gave hate_machine and me a ride in the Riv to the shoot. Pretty sweet daily driver.

Seeing what this dude did with his POS makes my project look like a breeze! At least my engine turns over. As well I have no mold and minimal rust. So I'm taking the angle grinder out this week for a little "Grindy, Grindy". Clean up that frame real nice!
Starting to think that a small 12v battery is a must. Don't want to burn out the electrics. The charge needs to go somewhere. Not sure where to hide it. Don't think it needs to be very big though as it won't be running the starter. Trying to decrease weight.

Bag of Bones

Not too shabby. This old bag of bones comes with a bx of bones in the back of the truck at no extra charge. Should have just about everything I need when mated with the other sad case I've got. Even got 4-1 pipes.
