Have faith in your own skills, when the bike is finished you won't need tools to fix it a side the road!!! Can't you create a hollow buble on the back for storage! You where going for that wheren't you? | ||

You are corrct with the tail. But I am struggling with it and how to mount it. Would really like it out of Aluminum but its a bear to curve in multiple directions. So Its all ideas it is really quickly becoming the last thing to do! | ||

Bend/curve what you can, cut and weld the rest. | ||
| S1owner |
Yep would work great but just welded aluminum for the first time and with a freinds spool gun! Not easy and this would need a tig to be nice. Would not mind one bit seing the nice welds like the tank. Anyone around me with a tig that would like to work with me? I can do the fab and bring the parts to you! | ||

Got some more work done today. Prototype brace / belt tensioner mocked up  Shock res, plate and lights along with electronics all mounted up   | ||

Damn that is looking good Ken. Is the brace/tensioner a 3D print? | ||
| S1owner |
A matter of fact it is Brad. Good eyes. | ||

Did you do the print? I have a project that needs a print. But first I need to find someone to do a scan. Most places I have approached are stupid expensive to scan an object less than 3" in diameter. 3D printing is an AWESOME way to prototype parts like this. Well done! | ||

Brad sent you a text | ||
| S1owner |
Another part on its way! Thanks Marc    | ||

When you finally get it all put together it's going to be too pretty to ride! Any idea when that might be? | ||

Hoping mid August I have some title issues I am still working on tbe PO of the frame is in Virginia and refuses to help me out! All I have left is a little wiring, Seat , oil lines and oil, and once over then she is ready. Been real busy at work and with house projects so Time has been an issue. If you ever have a chance read through the links in the beginning of this post Joes Buell this is a pain staking process and takes what seams like a lifetime! | ||
| S1owner |
Finally getting a little time to work on her! Been doing house fix ups looking at selling and getting a large farage with a small house attached! Traded the pos 09 chevy in on a Toyota also But anyway here she goes with the tensioner    | ||

That really looks good Ken. How's the back doing? | ||
| Phelan |
I see handlebars on the lift... | ||
| S1owner |
Back is great! Yes those bars will work much better for my back! | ||
| S1owner |
Been workin on her all weekend. All rear wiring is done. Should be able to get power up to test lights but I get nothing. Charged battery, cleaned grounds but still nothing so time to go through everything to make sure with the meter. Getting close One question the bolt that holds the newer shifter what keeps oil from coming out should that bolt have sealant on it?  | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Looking good Ken. I spent a couple hours yesterday trying to track down that muffler bracket. I was unable to locate it. I might have tossed it in the metal recycle pile in a moment of insanity. Regarding the shifter bolt. You shouldn't need any sealant on the bolt. The primary cover gasket should take care of it. The bolt goes all the way through the left primary and through the left side of the center case and into the right side. It shouldn't leak as both the center seam and the primary should be sealed. However if it does weep a bit, I have used Hylomar. I usually put a drop of Locktite Blue on it regardless. | ||
| S1owner |
Perfect I get oil out if there only when the bolt is not in. | ||

Half day at work today and all next week off! Hope to have 1 or 2 days to get her running. In the 90s today and tomorrow with brutal humidity so wont happen till sunday but everyone cross their fingers! | ||

You done yet?  Week has past and no update, waiting for the result | ||
| S1owner |
So its been a busy week! We painted our entire down stairs and two rooms upstairs, installed two flights of wood steps and many other house to do's. Throw in the Kids first varsity football game and time to goof off and poof the week is done. I did however get to spend all of today woking on her!!! All electrical is done as far as I can tell (will know forsure when it starts) Got the new shock cleaned up and installed My todo is as follows: Fill oil and tranny Fill and bleed brakes Adjust suspension Install gas tank Check all connections and bolts Finish seat And a few other little things    | ||
| S1owner |
And hopefully come Aug 30 I can get the title fixed! | ||
| M2owner |
Looking a lot more complete than when I saw it before. Hope that title mess gets straightened out easily. | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Coming along nicely. Well done Ken. | ||

Looking good! You going to paint the dash black, or keep it like this? | ||
| S1owner |
Right know it will stay raw but black may come later kinda like the idea | ||
| Rjn |
Think the instruments will be less "there" and will look good with the coated triple trees. Some for the back plate of your voltage regulator. But now i'm just nitpicking   | ||
| Bluzm2 |
KEn, I could engine turn or damascuscine it for you.. I've got the stuff to do it. |
