Here is what those sleeves look like on the bike. I think it pulls it off pretty well. Looks nicer than just the rustoleum covering up all the pits. I like the new ears too. Took some banging on them to get them to go over the sleeves I made.
and this is the seat as it will be. I wanted it to go lower and cover more of the frame, but beggars cant be choosers. My dad made it up during the day when he had down time at work.
A few hiccups. We didnt have anything to measure the ATF for the forks. and I turned the key to see if I had any power, none. I assume the headlight just hanging there for two days pulled wires loose. No idea which ones it might be. But it looks like thats what Ill be doing tomorrow.
My dad doesnt think he will have time to do the handlebars with me. I might just get the holes drilled and then try it myself, or just run them outside the bars.
Waiting on tires, turn signals, and integrated brake light. hopefully theyre here by friday, have to go to el paso to see my stepdad and all next week my dad will be out of town on business.
Tomorrow I am going to try to see if I can spray my practice tank with the paint gun. Never done that before.
Slightly disappointed, thought more would be done by now. I need a damn garage at home. I guess at this point is just to get everything wired up and roadworthy so I can take it home.
