Got the new bracket on

 

[OddJob]

Fits the vibe well!

Love those forks and bars on that frame!!!
The new light brackets are perfect!!!

 

[toro1978]

It looks great and for sure very moto. I notice the bracket holes go perfect with the chainring holes.

I'm not completely sold on the light mounts. [emoji137]
They look good for sure, but I would try to turn them pointing upwards [emoji658] and push them all the way down [emoji652] to the lower fork bridge...
Might be worth a try, even if it's just to prove me wrong... [emoji6]

But this is me criticizing on a very high level [emoji41]

I was thinking about this too, I'll try it out and see how it looks

New bracket looks great. Just a little lower and closer to the forks might be sweet......but it looks good as is. Killer build.

 

[Machine Age Victim]

So, flipping the bracket over moved the light closer to the forks and gives more control for the height. I like it

 

[Machine Age Victim]

I added a battery box, and figured while I was at it, I'd add a little something extra.

Night shots

Me riding, keep in mind I'm 6'3"

Dig the lower light ! Is there a switch on the handlebar for both lights then, I assume?

Also some great photos on the front stoop. And yeah, we taller dudes tend to dwarf our bikes a bit.

Thanks! There's a switch on the bottom of the headlight for that, and there's a switch on the front of the box for the bottom light.

Went for a 5 mile ride today, not the best climbing bike, but solid ride, feels good.

Wait till you see the spot I've picked out!

I planned to add a different color of metal to break up the chrome/aluminum greys, I did brass bits on my last build off so I'm going with copper on this one. This idea struck me...

 

[OddJob]

Now that's cool! Is that a real small gauge copper tubing? Really dig the look.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

That does look cool and with the handlebars essentially part of the fork, the cables ‘turn’ with the fork, so little movement.

One question, I always thought that brake cable housings required some ‘compression’ (that’s why they are a spiraled wire vs shifter cables that are simply tubular.

Will these solid lines impact braking efficiency? Asking for a friend.....[emoji846]
