Wow that's looking good you have done quite a bit of mods.

You might consider adding the rear shock saver link to the rear suspension so if your axle breaks it will not bend your shock.

Whats next?

Yeah, she's come a long way since I picked 'er up late 2010. Of course a lot of that has been born out of necessity. Heim breaks, get chromoly heims. Shocks are wasted, get Works shocks. Engine croaks, upgrade to water cooling since you're in there.

The 3rd link mod is definitely on the list. I'd like to find that thread again so I can look at the pics.

Next up is the PRP suspension seat I've had sitting in my office at home since shortly after I bought the Ody. Been procrastinating that job. Also need to replace the worn out safety belts. Would like to see a write up on mounting after market seats. And, I need to sort out the 38mm carb on there. Guess I'll post a thread in the Tech section.

Maybe we need an "Articles" or "How to" section of write ups on mods and upgrades? That'd be cool.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Forgot to mention, also on the list of stuff I have but just need to put on are: Digatron with tach/EGT and a FMF Q Stealth silencer. Oh, and a whole 250R front end for an A-arm swap some time in the future. Looks like it's more tabs and fabbing for me.

KTM265, thanks. I actually stole the idea from jim327 here on the board. He did a real clean conversion a while back.

davidafco, yeah, that's my '65 A code coupe. Although I'd call it anything buy nice. I got it free from my step father up in Montana. She's got a bit of rust and someone already yanked the original 289 and 4-speed and shoved in a 302 and 3-speed from some '69 pickup. I'm gonna rebuild the 302 and already picked up a T-5 tranny. But, hey, the price was right.

fully, the radiator is from a '86 250R. The fan is just one of the those China fans I got off eBay for $20. Works really well though. I picked up a whole front end and some other parts including the radiator from a guy locally for $200. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the A-arm conversion next year. Need to get a look at shoubadaba's a little closer first.

Pics of the FMF Q-Stealth silencer install coming soon....

I think I'll be there, but racing is out of the question. Being recently unemployed, the $70 entry fee is just not in the budget anymore.
