Shit photo but got the tallight mounted. In keeping with the spending no money on this thing I used this Ali X Fuck taillight . And also whipped up a small mount for the Cocktail shakers. Front bullet indicators are mounted and the rear ones should be easy enough. Next up is Chain guard next week -
Yeah we seen heaps of jumping fish and the lake was super flat @Mof. Will check it out for sure. Keen to take Van with a bike in the back to scope out some good spots

Yeah Balmoral is a nice spot for sure but Lake Taylor is about a hour inland and I fell in love with that doc campground. Gonna load the Van up and head there at Easter

Snuck out yesterday morning all loaded up and rode some gravel roads up Waipara Valley then up to Lake Taylor in North Canterbury. Such lush gravel roads and the lake was a stunner. On the way in it felt like I was on the west coast. Bike ran like a dream as usual and my bud on the GB400 clocked me at 105km on the flat in front of him. My weight on the back was a bit too much with a 18pk of lobros but was lighter on way home. Once we got to Lake Taylor we rode back out to Hurunui and to a bike rally at Balmoral Reserve for a evening of bogan activities. Won best tattoo again and scored a bottle of Jim Beam which ill prob give away to a mate sometime. Great foggy ride home this morning and home by 1030. Not a bad 26 hours away and $30 gas for 250 odd km

Snuck in another couple mounts over the last fortnight. Not as productive as id like but progress is progress. Front of rear guard mount is done just not bolted up. Tank front and rear mounts done. Made front seat mount later today and will mount up in morning then drill 2 holes in back of rear guard for the seat. Ive aqquired a Triumph Oil tank from @gazguy which ill be mounting soon. Gonna plumb up fuel tank this week then take it for a ride to keep the motivation going then ill remove horseshoe oil tank that has chain clearance issues then mount up Triumph tank and then that should coincide with the header pipes from @Kimjon arriving thanks to @64valiant & @HighLUX and ill take the bike off to my mate Mush for some help mounting the cocktail shakers and making the pipes meet each other all pretty like. Then just got to mount indicators and number plate and then work out a taillight. Moving forward which is good -
Looks great ! Id say keep up 3mm for ya mount as these motors have some intense Vibration. Love the pipe and the angle alot

Not bad turnout of sites this morning . Left just before 10 and started to drizzle a bit. Didnt pick anything which is kinda a good thing. Caught up with heaps of old mates tho which is always a good thing

Nah mate I dont. I mean we can use the workshop and tools but my odd hours mean I cant get here any earlier and I dont wanna hang around after a 12 hour shift so do everything in my shed at home. Got a reasonable amount of tools to get shit done -
