Again thanks for the comments. The color, Seafoam green has be haunting me the last couple years. Really wanted that late 50's early 60's color palette. Always grew up around hot rods/gassers. To respond to what i did for switch blocks....obviously bike has no blinkers but i also removed the horn and for that matter the idle cable from the throttle. I also removed the nuetral "safety" switch from clutch lever and front brakelight switch. That leaves on/off,start and high beam/low beam. I built a switch plate on center console and cover them with flip up switch covers. Thats it...no other wiring.
It is a 21" 120/70 front wheel but i dropped frontend 1 1/4 to offset added height of tire. But i do have a 140 for it which is a little taller.

The front end was piece by piece. I wasnt gonna go that route but another forum member was more than generous and gave me the lowers for the goose. He had swapped them with chrome ones. I know stuff shows up here and there but well worth it. Also go with progressive suspension or equivelent springs from the get go. Dont waste money on OEM stuff. Always loved the FL style front end. Got that and the boards from Switchback
