It's amazing how all of these new parts just bolted right up to the old frame. Those engineers must have been able to look into the future.

Couple more tidbits for today. Got an end cap for the Supertrapp muffler installed with new packing today:

So much better. It's throaty and warm now instead of raspy and brutal. Pleased with that mod.
Vinyl wrapped the front fairing with thick 10 mil vinyl for durability. I then trimmed it out with rubber edge trim:
I had a piece of my sheepskin left over from my big BMW touring bike and thought it would work well on here. Added a dose of leather conditioner:
And mounted it with a couple of bungees. I quite like it. Easy to pop off when you hit the rough stuff:
Repurposing a previously purchased fender tool bag:
Feeling quite good about my deadline in 3 weeks!

One more time because I laughed so hard I started an allergy coughing fit.

He's wondering why he doesn't actually believe the lies he is telling himself. That is the look of quiet resignation.
Having fun with some final touches.
Fender bag mounted. I read a lot of complaints about how insecure the factory fender "hooks" were on these bags so I went to McMaster and found some cool bolt on webbing attachment points. Stupid secure:
And then in the back of my mind I remember seeing a trick somewhere on the net and I went searching and found this:
Which I turned into this!
Heavy stainless mesh that I shot with a little flat black. Really durable and cheap!
I then proceeded to adjust the preload on the steering stem bearings, changed all brake pads, adjusted the chain, and had a grand time jumping burms and climbing every hill I could find on my property. It's like being a kid at the carnival!
