Nice, Ray.
The Janus Halcyon 450 was born to be kick started.

Is it just me or have we not seen a full on picture of this finished bike yet? You're teasing us.

The bar end weights are a great compliment to the rest of the gold on the bike.

Yeah, (+1) - gimme.

Thanks for your comments & interest. I’ve got a ‘67 VW waiting for me to install dual carbs, but this bike keeps pulling me away.
Took it on a 50 mile run; the end weights made a noticeable difference between 4200-6000rpms, kinda cool!
No, I’m not finished with it yet. While looking the bike over, I noticed a bracket for a center stand. Janus doesn’t offer it as an option or accessory. This might take a bit more work, but it would be nice to have a stand.
The tail light/turn signal wiring is routed outside and along a curved support bar for the rear fender. Always thought it looked out place. Ended up drilling a couple of holes and ran the wires through the bar. While I was at it; drilled a couple of small holes for drains at the end points.
Sorry, didn’t take a before photo. If you look closely, you’ll see the rubber coated aluminum “tie wraps” on the bike lift that was used to hold the wiring harness in place.

Man. Don't ride this little beastie on the dampened salted winter roads.
RE: Janus Halcyon 450 - Razor - 02-27-2024
No worries on the salt. We’ve had enough rain to wash it away.
Took the bike out today. Averaged 55mpg with gusting winds. Pretty sure 60mpg is achievable. Bike ran well and shifted through the gears smoothly.
Stopped in Centreville for a photo in front of the covered bridge. Headed south to Goshen, Indiana to visit the Janus headquarters/factory. Had a great ride and time in Goshen.

That is great, Ray.
RE: Janus Halcyon 450 - the Ferret - 02-27-2024
Did they like your bar ends and tail light?
RE: Janus Halcyon 450 - Cormanus - 02-27-2024
Bike — and bar ends — look great. I like the optical illusion in the photo of the covered bridge that makes it look like the sign is twice the width of the bridge.
