      On a 6 volt? Not so much. LEDs are very temperamental.

    Wow, love the color scheme, what did you have to modify to make the front wheel 21"?

      You'd have to order a rim with similar angled holes and custom spokes. @huxmoto on insta if you're trying to do it and I'll help.

    What tires are you running? Would like to put them on my xl500s, currently have old knobbies from a previous owner on mine

      I think these are a set of Shinko 244's. I've run that rear on a few bikes and never had an issue with them on or off road.
      Cheers,

    Mate that looks sweet! I'm in the process of building up the same bike. I ditched the original red and went with silver. I also spent many many hours cleaning and polishing the engine. Now after looking at yours I kind of wished I had of gone black. I'm currently having difficulty wiring up the cheap aftermarket switches. I can't work out the colour coding to line up with the original Honda wiring. I see you have the same left hand switch. Did you happen to write down the colour coding? Oh and I love the 21inch front and back rack!

      Happy to help if I can. @HuxMoto on Insta if you want to DM me. The aftermarket handlbar switches are wired with different color wires, so it's tough to say what's what. I use a volt meter to determine the location/usage of each wire before graphing it in.
