[jrod0283]

Got a LOT of work done today! I'll post some photos tomorrow evening.

Installed the new tire onto the front wheel (looks amazing).
Painted front wheel. Uninstalled all the factory gauges (going with something different for a more clean look).
Painted lower fork tubes.
Uninstalled the factory air box (total pita).
Installed air pods (will rejet/fine tune carbs as needed).
Cleaned up wiring under the seat.
Started designing a new battery box for its relocation now that the air box is out of the way.
Installed front turn signals.
Relocated front headlight.


Next up is:
Install rear tire.
Paint rear wheel.
Paint rear swing arm and chain guard.
Install custom built battery box.
Install clip ons and new grips.
Build rear taillight bracket.
Build license plate bracket.
Build new gauge bracket/rewire new lights for neutral/highbeams etc.

...slowly but surely...

Still no photo uodates. Phone was charging inside lol.

Installed clip ons and new grips today after work. Wow what a visual difference on the bike! Very happy with the results.

Need to get new rear tire installed. And paint rear wheel. Hopefully this week some time.

Have parts ready to build new battery box. Need to decide where to place the battery.

Getting closer!

Digging the design so far. Stance is great. Handles well.

Get those carb jets or build an air plenum to restrict flow yet?

Put some foam/sponge material in each pod filter and it ran like a mofo. Lol. Haven't changed anything inside the carbs yet. Might not need to...

Excellent, I figured there was someway to restrict that air back to about right and get it running.
