OK, another quick little update. I couldn't resist putting in a large order to DCC with free shipping this weekend. Here's what I picked up:
OE Style CB/CL Clutch & Drum Brake Lever Set
5-3/4" Old School "Side Mount" Bates Headlight - (Chrome)
Universal Electronic Frame Mounted Brake Switch
All Black Eye to Clevis Shock Absorbers - (365mm/14.50")
Lightweight Gloss Black "Dimpled" Headlight Brackets - (29-35mm)
ProGrip 717 Pro Street Gel Grips - (All Grey)
I'm a little concerned about the shocks being too high. I like a slanted forward aggressive stance but I'm worried that the chain will rub the swingarm if there is too sharp of a downward angle on the swingarm. We'll find out when they get here.
Also, I have just about every electrical component collected to send to Sonreir to make the wiring harness. I just have to buy the electronic ignition. I was going to do that this weekend but we REALLY needed a mattress so we bought one of those instead for now until next paycheck or so.
Also, my frame is at a local powder coater getting blasted and shot gloss black to match the rims and such. The tank was sent down to Marc in Georgia after I sanded it to my level of satisfaction. He masked it off and coated it in clear powder to protect it.
Other than that I've just been collecting new bolts and nuts for the frame mounts and painting odds and ends. It's tough to lay down some good rattlecan paint with it getting colder outside.
