Yesterday, I mocked up my seat. The battery sits too high, so I took it out. It needs some cleaning up… and I need a shorter battery.

Also, I’m going to get rid of all those electrics (capacitors etc) and replace it with a regulator/rectifier which I hope to tuck either under the spiky solo section or perhaps tuck up under the tank right where it meets the seat.

I also took off the oil tank and love how the bike looks more streamlined inside.

Trying to plan for taillight. I’m considering welding a wrap around under the spiky part and have a single lens taillight subtly tucked underneath.

Next… pull forks in prep for fork seals.

I haven’t made much progress lately, but I’ve been doing a lot of research. Ha!

Yesterday, I did manage to get a piston out of one of the three calipers.

The other two are still really stuck, but they are soaking in my friend’s parts washer. Hopefully, they will unstick soon.
