Modest beginnings of my M750 project

[memper]

Hated the round headlight so I copied the headlight idea from a member I saw here (droopy wire on the left just hadnt been soldered and tucked away yet). The other images are a photoshop concept for the  tail section I will be making (fiberglass, stainless sheet and leather). The tank is the 900ss tank I recently purchased (also photoshopped). Im considering a half front fairing.

I really like the tank and seat - it's not too far off from what I've been thinking about for my little 620.

Where'd you source the light. Do they have round ones?

[Stormtrooper]

I like!  Where did you get that LED headlight?  It kinda looks like the Rigid unit I used but not.  How's the light output?

Not as bright as the Rigid and yes they have round lights. But I dont usually ride at night so it works fine for my needs. Besides, NYC is so bright at night (where I usually ride) a headlight is not really needed or helpful anyway.

The seat I will be making myself out of 10g stainless steel, fiberglass and custom leather (I do leather work).

 That is looking really sharp! I love what that tank does for the bike.

I like the flat top and the ability to see the vertical head. Maybe come late summer/early fall I will ditch the battery and put a LifePo 4 in the tail unit when funds allow.

neat!  Is that rear hugger a piece of sheet metal held down with the center screw?

No its a steel fender. I think its from an old dirtbike that I cut down. It was held in place by the center screw on the SA and a couple brackets. Ditched it currently.

Have you thought about painting the swing arm and the forks black?

Looking good, liking the half fairing  .

Have you thought about using some Sport Classic spoked wheels ? I'm running them on my M900 and the conversion is pretty simple, if a boofhead like me can DIY anyone can.

Honestly I feel that spokes are too retro for the monsters modern lines and feel. If I could afford it I would go the route of marchesini wheels.
I was also considering coloring the forks (vinyl). Def not black. White maybe. In the end the bike will be black and white with red accents.
Swing arm? Not sure. Vinyl wrap it? I dunno...

This is pretty cool:

I like 'em....excuse the ugly it was early Sunday morning

As I have mentioned I am switching to an ss tank. It was listed as a 96/97. Anyone know if the filler cap from my 99 monster tank will fit the ss? Its coming without the entire cap, just a big ass hole.
If not maybe I will get one of those keyless racing caps...
