Bike is getting closer
I got my bodywork and the few small pieces finally I needed to get my bodywork on.
First came the bodywork:
Cheapest I could find. Will it hold up in a crash? I'm not going to bet on it. The only real problem I had with the bodywork was that it was a superbike tail and it pretty much didn't fit right, slipped around when I tried to sit on it. I decided I wanted to sit on the stock seat so I cut out a chunk to make a supersport tail.
Much better like this:
And here it is with the bodywork on it (duct tape being replaced by DZUS fasteners soon):
Next up is tanking off the tank, prepping it and all the bodywork for paint (painting over the weekend) and it's basically ready to run. A few more small parts to go and then some big pieces coming slowly over the next few months.
