I like the look, especially the polishing on the frame.
Where are you mounting your ignition switch?
Cheers

Haven't picked a firm location yet. Still building mounts.
Will have a better idea when I get into running the wiring for the Acewell......
Probably through the right side cover. The same position as the petcock but on the opposite side.

How about on the tail unit using the existing hole for the seat release?
I think your motor should get the same attention that your frame got.

I wish my engine were that shiny.
Had to draw the line somewhere or I'd never get to ride it.
Got my Acewell wired in to the stock loom. Key relocated etc.
Pic's to follow.

Nice job
How did you get it past its road worthy test with a rear seat but no footpegs?

Its solo Seat compliance here in Oz. Cheaper rego.
Seat has to be 500mm or less. Its exactly 500 mm with both.
Plan to get rid of that rear seat down the line.

Davey does a fantastic hard tail that just clips on in place of the rear seat

Hi Phil,
The seat lock/unlock mechanism is much lower than that........It looks like an ignition switch

The seat release hole was plastic welded over.
That is on fact the ignition. Good eye Bernie
