"Cool Aide"
A bit more from yesterday:
I made a mount for the tank from found parts and tacked it into place.
The welds are just tacks. I plan to weld fully, and fully clean the look when I strip the bike for paint.
Then made a bracket to attach the new gauge with lights.
Measured up for shocks:
I'm thinking 1-1.5" increase.
Just a couple more shots of the rear frame reinforcement:
Next I need to notch the left frame to allow the tank petcock to fit. Then I want to revamp the rear fender, find a suitable front fender, create a bash plate and figure/make out the side covers.
Of course there is a new headlight, tail light signals, horn and rebuild the entire wire harness.
Oh, and clean everything, paint a cool tank and fenders, frame and check/repair the brakes and forks.
Not much at all, assuming the motor, clutch and charging system is sound.
