Re: Cinco de Polo
Funny you should mention the Wolf call, that was on my list for "loud horns I'd like to have."
La Cucaracha would be even better, but I would insist on the airhorn/compressor version!

Re: Cinco de Polo
I got the shifter finished up minus the wiring. All is back together, but the front is missing that "pop", that all those primary colors are doing for the rest of the bike. Still not sure what to do here yet.
Now on to lighting.

Re: Cinco de Polo
Well, mystery solved! It's a shame the reflector was missing, it's probably on some collectors list of must haves!
I'm glad you enjoyed the warm childhood memory, it's why I like using stuff like this on builds.

Re: Cinco de Polo
Got the fork repainted, but I rushed it a bit and we haven't had as much painting suitable weather as I'd like, so I had some peeling.
But the more I looked at it the more I liked it, so I just hammered them back on and I'm gonna' just rock it.
It's so snappy it almost looks photoshopped.

Re: Cinco de Polo
Put some lights on it, but I'm still on the fence about battery location and switching.

Re: Cinco de Polo
Since I don't have alot of night bikes I figured this would be a good candidate for hi power lighting. But that takes big batteries, and you got to put them somewhere. I think I'm gonna' play up the NOS idea as I have most of the necessary junk to make it happen.
Was trying to come up with a way to make the momentary switch toggle the lights off and on, but it made my head explode and I went with this switch instead.
Can you see where this is going? :wink:

Re: Cinco de Polo
NOS bottle got put together last night, and now the bike is fully "junked up". Bottle was just big enough to get the battery inside. Just got to get it wired up and I can call it done!
No room even for this fuse holder!
Mounting bracket
Pre angling.
With leveling bracket.
Note fake pressure on gauge.

What's this??? Looks like Cinco hasn't been out much, I thought I noticed some strange webs around.
Ok, got the wiring done, and lights are working. What a snakepit!
Well, I'm calling it done. It's been a long road and it's been a real mixed bag of good and bad. Good being the extension and fork, bad being that frickin' sprocket. Gonna' be fairly busy over the next few days so no final pics just yet. This is my final build post in this thread, so look for pics in the done forum. It's been a fun ride kids and I've enjoyed building something cheap n' ratty this time around.
