The Seat and Rear Fender

     So, it has been a while, I have been back to the mother country to see family, and a thoroughly great time was had. I was keen to get back and start tinkering again. Space, as always is at a premium in my garage, the strip continued regardless. Again, most things are kept on by metric stainless steel home depot specials. I may need to buy more storage........

     Today, the much hated seat unit is gone, it is hideous, and weights in at around a chunky 15 lbs or more. I may have to keep the part I discard, or at least weight them to see how much before and after weight i have saved. I intend to eBay most things i do not use once off the bike, what I make goes back into the build.


     In addition to teh seat, the rear fender and battery box came off and out, as have the rear lighting cluster, and yes, having learnt from old, i have already labeled the wires appropriately, just in case i keep the loom.

 
So, the chrome is getting old, am undecided, should i re-chrome what I style and use, or powder coat? Decisions, decisions, well only a short addition today, but progress is being made!
