Been a while since I posted. No, not going full lowers, just staying with the 900SS fairing. I don't think lowers would work with this fairing anyway.
Just got the bike back from Mark at Monel Custom Automotive who did a heap of welding and fabrication I knew I couldn't do myself. In no particular order, have achieved the following since the last post:
The fairing mount has been cut and shortened slightly and the angle adjusted. Mark also made up some upper and lower brackets for the fairing and bent the kickstarter so it clears the rearsets.
LED indicators arrived from Revival. Not sure if I will run them in each of the outer fairing bolt positions at the front, or even run them at all, the bike is old enough I don't have to.
Have all the extra Motogadget stuff I need to do the electrics on its way, so will start the wiring this week. Just need to make up a dash to house the tacho.
Micro-switch has been attached to the rear brake lever bracket to actuate the brake lights.
The splash guard from Dustin Kott arrived and is in place. Very grateful to a bunch of guys on the main sohc forum who said to give him a call. He was great to deal with.
Also got the rear light from Gabe at After Hours Choppers, think it will be really different.
Replaced all the pitted old front and rear wheel spacers with stainless, machined by the retired gent I was put in touch with.
Just bought a CB650 cam off ebay to start the engine parts acquisition.
Kind of scary how much these projects cost. Still cheaper than my ex-wife, and a hell of a lot more fun.
Cheers
