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

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

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.

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 |

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. |

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. |
