Two days of crappy weather saved me from the yard work the foreman had lined out for me so I had some good days in the garage. I needed a chain guard and since one for this bike is unobtanium at a reasonable price I reached into the parts stash and grabbed the TX500 guard. I had to do a little bending on the rear mount to move it out a bit and the front mount was different. I ground off the forward mount on the frame, drilled and tapped for a M6 and used a rubber grommet for vibration. It went pretty easy.
I’m waiting on the handlebar controls which should be here tomorrow so I can hook up and check all the wiring. I have some aftermarket bullet blinkers with running and tail light circuit so I need to build a harness for those. I also installed my exhaust today. I had thought about going with some tapered shorties but after looking at the baffle, or lack of, I decided they might have a little too much bark! I ended up putting a set of Commandos on which I pretty sure me and my neighbors will like. Did a few mock-ups with different seats, tried a solo, a Cafe and a stock seat I have that needs to be recovered. I think for now the Cafe seat wins out.
