I cut and mounted the alloy front fender. Change the original picture. Now it has radius edges. Thanks Paul! Still tweaking it. Lou

Great bike

Thanks, as always for all the kind words, and keep the ideas coming! I'm figuring this out as I go along. My next build will be an all painted bike! Aluminum dust and chips everywhere! Here are a couple of things I'm trying to figure out. The little shift lever was a pain, as I filed away all the casting flash and cut out the recess. No one will notice but us! Lou

Drill Baby Drill. I love aluminum chips; sprinkle them on my raisin bran.

I like the mudguard Lou. Will be a small challenge to make the aluminum match the compound curves of the fiberglass piece. More training for the fairing.

Thanks again. Yes Mike that fiberglass piece has the craziest shape. I'm just going to bang on it with a hammer on my shot bag and see what happens. I'll let you know how many pieces I throw away! Lou
