What's your plan for electronics and a seat? Your tray may not be deep enough, atleast based on what I did. Idk of you decided to do an M unit or not but it's about 1" tall by itself. If you're using the stock starter solenoid, that's about 2" tall laying down. (I think thats just a bit over 25mm and 50mm respectively)
I think deep trays that you can see defeat the purpose so the seat will concave a little to accommodate the m-unit. Starter solenoid might go under the cafe seat hump with the battery.

This shows the cutout that was flipped and then welded back in.

Yeah I can agree with you, mines definitely a bit deep but the location between the 2 rear most tubes and taillight hide it at least.
I couldnt get the solenoid and battery underneath my hump in any practical way

Im ready to buy a Hindle exhaust. Just wondering if there are are any pics of the 16" muffler? Or does anyone have one?  Dave's bike with the 12" looks great.

Thanks Dave,
I'll do that.  :)

Also, I got a bunch of parts off to get textured black powder coat. Top triple, rear hub, brake and carrier.

Made a splash guard for the m-unit and starter solenoid.
Also picked the wheels up. Need tyres now!

Wow the the black textured on your parts looks great. I have to buy a pound of that powder I always think wrinkle with the deep texture would be a pain but that looks very cleanable . Your fabrication is awesome nice bike.

Thanks Gary,
Textured is fine to clean. It's not rough as such, and not like ripple paint.

And I'm back. Busy year and I was not not out a job, infact teaching online was just more work.... I have been doing more woodwork stuff this year, but little bits of the bike too. I spent a few half days polishing the hindle. Polished on the left only:

I sanded out most of the clamp marks. It took a lot of hours!

The small things I have done over the last 9 mths: sorted headlight brackets, chrome plated a heap of bolts, polished side covers, sorted m-unit wiring and ignition, bought a better sandblasting unit to prep small parts for paint, ordered bolts and bits and pieces, bought some nice yss adjustable rear shocks.

Good stuff! Those pipes really shine with some elbow grease, damn. And I’m really liking the seat mock up. Very smooth lines from triple tree back.

Hey Dave! I spent about 16 hours on the pipes, I think. The seat on there is from my CB450t but this one will be similar.
