How do you plan to attach the side covers? I want do something with mine just can't figure out the best thing to do. I have painted them but would like to do something more.

Thanks for the advise. I will make the adjustments to the bars. I have been thinking about dropping the forks as well. When you talk about spraying the forks is that to lubricate them to make them easy to move?

Seat is coming along. Need some more bondo touch ups and a seat pad. Next up is the tank.

Just use a Dam battery!
