Cutting up a Kan-A-Tuna

Really not gonna be a true Streetfighter. No proformance mod's, frame mods, Just a simple, clean, nakid bike.
Here is where I started. It's a friend of a friend's wife bike. the guy gave it to her after getting a BlackBird 1100 and spent the last few years basshing up this Kat. Poorly maintained, ugly paint, dropped, bent and JB welded parts... list goes on.

He want's it ready for his wife to ride in a few weeks and I'm a retard so I tell him I can do something with it. This guy just beats up bikes but I got to meet his wife, I broke it down to her, told her about the streetfighter concempt and she was all in. She just wanted to keep it on the mild side and leave it a 2 up bike.
Here's where I went...
new head light & gauge mount.

With the execption of the chain, sprockets and rear brake parts (that the owner did not get to me this weekend) my work is done. Side covers built, mirrors on,wired up & all back together. Done! Only been 4 weekends, but it felt longer.

I like the new color scheme. It's WAAAAAY better than the "before" pictures.

This bike was not sexy before. Now it is. Sorry never liked that body style. Looks much better.

Yeah, definitely an improvement. I need one of these. If I lay it down I just get out the Krylon and do some touch up. Lol!
