Slow....ly, making progress. lol. Thankfully, I have planned the entire winter to conquer this. I will enjoy my small victories. Picked up some bars and a couple of BMX stems to mount them.

Getting back at it as the weather is great now.

Made a seat pan this weekend. Still have to figure out how to mount it. Im thinkin just weld some tabs underneath and bolt it to the frame.

Thanks Willem. As I ground the centerstand off and smashed the steel on a rock I pondered why I wear dress clothes to work. I love ths stuff. The more threads I read the hotter the fire under my as<(&$#@ as well. lol.
Cheers

yea Im in an office job as well, and every time I work on my bike it just feels great. But it's a hard life being a full time bike mechanic I think, definitely not as easy as a postgraduate position in an oil company

Picked up some forward controls. Going to make the mounting bracket this week.

 

[SK8ORIDE]

Wiring completed. All LED signals flashing and working well. Thanks to XSDOUGs Thread "LED turn signal Problems" and MOGIEs EP34 solution.

Sick!
The backyard fire/forge is a great photo.
You skate much? I lived in Mississauga in the mid 80's, and have skate friends in TO that I still skate with when I visit.
Heading to skate Ashbridge's Bay's new kidney pool next month with all the old locals!
Great bike, turned out sweet.
