Here we go again
SO what's going to be different this time around? First off I want to use consistent bolts across the whole bike as I'm completely sick of switching between hex and allen head.
Secondly, I'm gonna go with keyless ignition purely because the lock mount on my top triple is buggered and I don't want to buy a new one.
Finally I'm gonna try to keep track of $$$ spent, mostly out of interest and to try to keep costs down.
So here's the bike as she sits
To get the ball rolling I whipped up some quick and dirty headlight mounts using some spare aluminium and what was left of the headlight bucket for sizing.
And after some angle grinding and hand filing
Finally got round to cutting off the fairing stay tabs which let me mount the headlight nice and tight to the frame.
Just need to clean up the finish of the brackets with some sand paper but can't get over to the hardware store till my new helmet arrives #BikeOnlyLife
Gonna be making a running gif of the build so at the end I'll have a nice time lapse of all the parts going on.
Finally thanks for all the support fellas, it's a seriously great community here :rock:
