Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Nothing too wild going on with this bike right now. It's a lot of detail work that takes a shitload of time for very small sized results. I guess it's when you add up all of these little jobs that the big results come.
1. I wanted a clean way to get my battery and tail lamp wire through from the harness to the rear of the bike. So I added some 1/2" OD "conduits" through the existing lateral frame section. I would have liked them to be further outside, but that was as close as I could get the right angle drill in there.
2. I had only tack welded the suspension mounts, frame gussets, and everything else on the frame. Reason being is that I wasn't 100% sure on geometry, fitment, yada yada. Well, nothing has caused me to make a change since originally tack welding everything together in August so I sealed the deal tonight and finished welding everything on the frame. Man I miss having that TIG welder around...
3. My bolt on steering stop had a good bit of flex with only a single piece of .083" as the mounting plate. Last week,before the TIG was returned, I added a second layer of .083" plate to the base and got that installed. Much improved.
