Reworked the rear seat hoop. This will fit the style better. Used Aluminum flat stock.  Also mounted the catch can  And started on the brake lines  | ||
| S1owner |
Not knowing how to weld Aluminum is driving me crazy need a few things welded but dont have the equiptment looking at spool guns! Any one in my area and has a day to weld and fab Aluminum with me???? | ||

Think I am going to do the rear of the seat in fiberglass think I need a little more blue. Started the windscreen and dash made a nice concave on the wheel and have the dash mocked up. The blue underneath the speedo will be the stock indicator cluster     | ||

Got the wind screen and dash all mounted. And a spoolgun set up to tack the tail together trying to get the bulk done as I have surgery on my neck in 2 weeks and will be out if commission from lifting for a month   | ||

Looks good ,but I hope that the thin plate stays in one piece under the vibes. | ||
| S1owner |
It is not that thin it will be just fine I have formed sheetmetal galv copper and aluminum for over 20 years as a living so I have a handle on that plus they are rubber mounted | ||

Recieved my custom timing cover today very nice. I plan on spraying it blue and then scotch brighting the paint off to give it the brushed look with blue letters.  | ||
| Gianni312 |
Now that's awesome! The bike is a work of rolling art Ken. Congrats. | ||

Been working diligently trying to get the big stuff done before my neck surgery on the 9th. Have the electric harness in. Got the muffler all installed have the oil lines temped in new rear rotor and pads installed and mocked up the belt tensioner. Just waiting on some spacer clamps for the oil lines and some exhoaust and seat parts from K12.     | ||

Maybe when it is finished i'll change my opinion, but for now i liked your first seating better ( with the rounded tubes ) and just the naked headlight. But your getting a bike that will turn heads, that's for sure | ||
| S1owner |
Opinion respected! I like the naked front end also but dont like to see all the wires. The rear loved the look from the side but the back it looked out of place it was too wide IMO. | ||
| Jayvee |
Incredible, that is a just fantastic bike. Now I want to copy some of those ideas. | ||
| S1owner |
Thanks Jayvee If you need specifics on anything just pm me more than willing to share | ||

Otsego..., I bought an immaculate 99 Thundercat there 2 years ago | ||

New longer and thicker idler pulley /brace design done. Fabricated and installed the stainless throttle cables. Trying to get the big stuff done before neck surgery on Tuesday its getting there! | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Ken, By now the surgery is in the rear view mirror. I hope all went well. Let me know if you need anything. Brad BTW, the bike is looking awesome! | ||
| S1owner |
Thanks Brad Had sugery on Tuesday all went well till thursday when I figured out they used Steri strips instead of glue or stitches. Tape becomes part of me and has a nasty reaction in a nut shell my skin blisters off itself! I will survive just wish for once someone would actually listen when I tell them not to use tape on me. Took my teenage son over an hour to seperate the tape off my skin. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Ouch!!! Glad to hear the "internal" stuff is going well. rad | ||
| S1owner |
Pain fully waiting cant do anything and I am soooooo close!!!!! | ||

| D_adams |

| S1owner |

| S1owner |

Ok so toying with the idea of cutting a storage area into the back of my seat like snowmobiles had not sure on it yet. | ||
| Rjn |
1 word: backpack  | ||
| S1owner |
Yes but there are things that need to be with the bike that I do not want to lug in a back pack like a tool kit! |
