Awesome Progress Update
Well I spent the last two nights making this:
![]() Came out really nice, and one little tapped hole for my acewell gauge. In other news I've ordered yet more parts, finished most of the rough fabrication, and ready to pull the engine again, finish weld and get things ready for powder. I relocated the key slot to under the seat/tank area, and hid most of the electronics up in the frame. I'll have more pics in a bit. Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish some custom knurled pegs.

Looks cool. Must be just an illusion from the camera angle, but the new one appears to have a much wider spread to the forks...

Also, check these bad boys out: ![]() Knurled up some bar stock last week, and tapped it for passenger and driver pegs. I think they look sick!

Those do look very nice, you did an awesome job....that being said, they're for you young-uns, us codgers would prefer some cushion from the vibrations under our feet, especially those long trips.

This is what I did, and maybe a slight bit embarrassed about it but it turned out ok. I don't see any reason it should not work perfectly.

I found a few 3ft. long pipes that would fit through the motormount holes as handles,and, using a friend, lifted the motor onto a crate, pulled the bike up close beside it, extended the pipe through the frame, put one person on each side of the bike and lifted the motor into the frame. We then removed the pipes and slid the motor into place.
