BMC - I've got most of the electronics hanging from the battery cage. I'll have to figure out later the best way to run wires, hang connectors, etc, but I think most of it will be attached to the battery cage and hidden by a fiberglass cover eventually.
Today I managed to pull out of my hangover just enough to get some very satisfying work done. I got the wheels and brakes back together and on the bike.
I'm thrilled with how the wheels and brakes turned out. These new tires look good with the bike too.
I'm not sure about the caliper. I painted it gold last summer to go with the color scheme since I wanted a colorful bike, but now I'm starting to be called by the siren song of all black.
It's hard to see right now though. If the weather is good tomorrow I'm going to bleed the front brake in and wheel the Toad out into the driveway where I have more room to see and work on it.
Here's a quick shot with the seat on the bike too. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, but not 100%. May still monkey with it later, but overall I'll take it for a first shot.
Once I get it into the driveway, I've got to figure out the rear fender/tail light situation. Still pretty unsure where to go with that...
