Rear Sets / Brake Cable-Before (Right) Notice the coupling nut (inside of the brake lever) which extends the peg out from under the master cylinder and match the shifter-side width.

Tail-Seat Frame Building

Bent some 3/16" x 1 1/4" stock into a hoop to support the tail/seat. Plan to drill and bolt it to the tire side of the upper shock mounts. Why not, they are already tapped?


The South end of a North bound chicken...and some free advert for Steve Storz.


Stop side line: Tank end looks a little low. Sledge hammer is keeping this pricey piece of glass from bouncing on the concrete.


Go side: yep, tank end is too low.


Focus you idiot. Might be time for a higher megapixel camera. Looks like it could stand to move towards the tank a couple of inches too.

Finally...Sato Rear Sets

Go side before.


Stop side in progress.
Had to pull the pipes and re-bend the hard brake line.
Braided line and pressure switch replacement coming soon.

Yellow tank makes the rounds.


The yellow tank is taking a turn on my bike. The sale of fenders (and tank) on eBay left me needing a temporary fuel cell. Thanks to Garrett for the pit stop fast swap out last night.

New Pipes

Headers.

Headers and Muffler.

Which one do you like better? I have probably already made up my mind.

Fender Friday

Today the eBay fender replaced the stocker,...after some modification.

The "extra" parts of the fender and support.

Super Joe, supervising.

It's the same bike, really.
