Thanks everyone!
I've added front and rear reflectors and I have run the wires for the headlight through the frame now!

Won this auktion today! I will probarbly use it on the R32 when it comes and after I've refurbished it! I think I will leave it to a professional to do the re spoke-ing, because I don't know how to do and the wheel needs to get balanced anyway! but it looks cool!

Me neither! It looks awesome! I can't wait to get it!
I hate to be a party pooper, but the drum brake on this sucks! I bought a NOS 1951 unit back in 1993 and try as I might, the brakes would slow you down but it would never lock up the rear wheel. You need some kind of pulley arm instead of a cable to make it work decent. However, it does look extremely cool. Got a whole bike in trade for it a few years later.
That bike is simply awesome. If you can find it over there putting those wires inside a piece of braided stainless washing machine hose would look sweet and increase the motorcycle feel. You can get 5ft of the stuff for under $10 over here and the inside diameter is more than enough for your wires.
That is such a cool idea Aaron.
That would be cool! But the wires from the headlight are now wired in the frame... but the wires form the rear and a bit of the wires in front are "loose", I may be able to do that to those!
Haven't come around to doing something with hose yet, It may come! ButI was at my fathers work today, he's a car salesman,
and we went down to the basement where they stored all kinds of "treasures" they don't use anymore!
There we found these old licenceplate numbers that were used a long time ago in Sweden, and I thought they would make
a cool numberplate or licenceplate on the bike!
So I made this:
I cut a piece of aluminum to the size I wanted, drilled some holes.
I zip-tied the plate to the springer/girder whatever you call it, I used white/clear zipties instead of the black ones.
I think it came out great with the polished aluminum and black numbers!

:shock: That just looks FN Sweet! :shock: Nice Job VicXsan! L8 EM
Nice.
Ok, so I'm not really happy with my bars on this bike... so I swapped them for some smaller bars, what do you think? The first style on the other pics or one of these:
Allso I swapped the bars on my "musclebike" for a pair of mini apes! But the old bars from this one wont fit the R32 due to the cross-bar it has.

I decided to use the smaller bars, in the flipped position! It feels more "racingy" when you ride and it looks better I think!
Also I followed up on ACD's suggestion to use washinghose to cover the cables up front, and this is how it became:
I will probarbly shoot a riding video and some moore pics for the finished bike thread tomorrow, If it aint dark and snowy!
