BAM!

Got a deal on some Prius GenII battery modules, one of which will become the new battery for the TwinStar!

Also, changed the bars to those from a 1985 CB125S, Since they're shorter, and less "Japanese School Boy".

Working on other designs in my head, but I've basically removed the aero idea from my plans for right now, and I'm just working on tucking everything and whatnot. Need to get a shorter clutch cable, some other stuff, and do up some wiring that isn't "up to par" as far as I'm concerned, like the glass tube fuse.

Haven't started on the intake manifold yet, haven't been able to source a cheap decent merge collector, either. Still working on that part, though... Don't really want to run with two open pipes under the engine.

Also, checking to see if I can retrofit a custom hitch plate from a 1978 GoldWing I bought recently.

Have also been feeling out for really cheap bikes to fix up for Spring, so I can get some cash flow in the Spring.
