gonna try and get it done and a good portion on the other done today. a buddies gf wants me to put a voyager kit on her harley today so i prolly wont get too much done
 
well today was cut short. thought i had 2 more bits. guess i didnt. so they still arent finished lol so now off to put "training wheels" on a harley lmao
 
well since i broke my last bit due to user error (didnt pay attention and snapped the bit) i went and put a voyager kit on a bike. i hate these things but since the rider in 4'9 and did every lowering thing possible and her feet didnt reach the ground, its on. doesnt look half bad just not my thing. she gonna order the frankenstine trike this winter
