Ryan's V50II resto

[ryanolivieri]

I waited to post this bike until I actually had it running.  It only took me 5 years.  All new plumbing and electrical, lots of freehand metalwork, rebuilt forks, calipers, a few junkyard goodies from Italy. Check it out.  Sorry for the caps, I ripped it from my website.

Looks great.   front fender looks street trackerish.

You must be an electrician?!

Wow thats some rebuiild ! how did you connect the oil pressure sensor ?

Very nice rebuild.

I like your electrical setup, similar to mine. I do need to clean my wiring up during winter. It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

I am curious to know how you like the moto gadget two button indicator setup. I greatly dislike it if I have to be honest. It is one of the first things to be changed in winter.

Thanks for sharing your project!
