For a moment I thought I was going to have 4 days of Thanksgiving to work on the project. While the wife and I were supposed to go to Mississippi for the holiday and for the Egg Bowl (Ole Miss v. Miss State, Go Rebs...) a family member fell ill on Tuesday and I thought we were going to be here for the weekend, with no plans. Can you say lots of bike time... However, and this is good news, the family member got much better by Wed evening so we decided to head out EARLY Thurs morning to be with my family.
So, I haven't had as much time as I would have liked, but I have gotten a great deal accomplished.
Got the exhaust and headers off, got the rear wheel removed, and the swing arm out. Everything else attached to the engine (kicker, gear lever, rear break lever etc...) are off the bike. So now I am down to removing the front wheel and front fork. I have never messed with the forks on a bike so that will be a learning experience.
Then, after engine removal, it will be down to grinding off all unnecessary tabs and connection points not being used in the final version, fabricating a battery box under where the cowl will be.
I hope the finances are available when I am ready to send it off.
