Filled and sanded out the dings on the 650 tank that I set on the semi chop, painted it cast iron then metal flake clear. I like it allot so far . I had some of those hard to find items that fit in the swing arm shock mount and mount the same shock in a lay down position ,maybe 2 or 2 1/2" back, makes the machine sit so nice.
I used the wiring harness with pins instead of blades, the kind that Matt ran across with his latest 550 this past fall. Found some nice parts at that dutchess county motorcycle show , still waiting for one of the vendors to e mail me about a K/Q seat, not the touring type, the old school chopper type.
Cut the rear fender, painted both the steel fender and the plastic inside fender, installed a Lucas rear lamp ...like usual. There are some items that I use allot , like that lamp for instance, because I haven't found another product that I like better, that being the case my machines look very similar to each other. There is a certain comfort in similarity but there is also a frustration that I could have gone wildly different on each machine but opted not to. strange ,isn't it?
