SOME ALTERNATE CRANK - SPROCKET OPTIONS
Running a 7-speed has me re-thinking the gearing, what is anyone else running up front with 7 internal in the back?

That little one i'm showing is a 36, is your S&S a 26"er? And how does it pedal off the line?

LATE NIGHT MOCK UP!
I like the fact that I have the same amount of clearance between the front fork/tire and rear frame/fork.

Love that ratty shifter.
How about unscrew the skinny shifter handle, then weld a bolt with the same size threads to the cut off end of the ratty shifter.

The tires look sick!
With the ratty shifter, maybe unscrew the little aluminum handle, and tap the face of the HBBC shifter and bolt the ratty shifter to it? That really does belong on the build...
One more option, hit up MIGZ and get a Project 346 Shifter from him - you should be able to attach the ratty shifter pretty easily to that one.

Re: CALIFORNICATION - Inspiration!
It was way too humid here today to do any more painting, so I polished the headbadge. Even thinking of hitting it with the Clear Orange paint????
