Man that's a good looking bike, you should be proud!

The kickstart-only conversion makes the bike look so much better. I mean, Bullets are just beautiful machines any way you slice it, but removing the e-start cancer tidies up the appearance so much.

I am! Hope to get some vintage controls fitted as well as painting alot of the smaller parts black to make them blend in this summer8)

Did you buy that bike from a guy named Curt in Ferndale?

Amen!!!

P.S.  Br. Lathi, please share with us a photo of that very interesting stop light set up.
Long live the Bullets and those who ride them!

I can't take credit for that one, another member instituted that idea ina  slightly different form..... its a repro ford light and license plate bracket. I did make my own mount for it though, I stil need to trim the wires a bit and clean it up a bit back there. I'll post some pics after work tomorrow.

Man that is one nice looking bike you have there. Especially like the way the handle bars are sitting on it. If I may ask, what style of bars are those? I am trying to talk the ol lady into letting me change the handle bars on our 08 military and she will probably let me once I show these photos. Also were you able to use the same cables or did you have to change the length? Once again that is one nice looking ride.......
