So last week I had all the fabrication finished up and pre wired the whole bike

On sat morning before Josh's wedding I stripped the bike to a frame and then yesterday I finished some welding of brackets I'd done and cleaned up plenty with the flapper disc on the grinder . Then tonite dropped off the frame to Jonny for tig welding the critical frame and rear calliper mounts . Will drop it off at crack testing tomorrow and hopefully have it back before the end of the week so I can sandblast before dropping back to the powder coaters! Only 19 days till the smash palace bike show and 250 k ride the day before !

Big Jonny at jonnys speed shop finished welding the frame and I took it to crack testing at lunch . All passed and dropped the sissy bar , bars , side stand , headlight mount off to the chromers ! Looking forward to picking them up early next week !

Will be sand blasting the frame tomorrow to drop off at the powdercoaters asap .

It's all go !

Oh really !! That's something I'm gonna need in a few days ! Your headlight and taillight have polished up well and are all mounted up ! Will need to swap them out for compliance tho as they have no markings on the lenses

That is the same thing I have to do to my Matchless. They got me on the fact my light was made to a later spec then the year of my bike. So to keep it I would have to add turn indicators to it.
