My hope is to get this one done in the spring. No heat in the shed makes things go a lot slower in the frozen tundra. My buddy does great photography, so no doubt we will have some great pictures of this bike, and mine.

Fixed up a mount for the new gauge…didn’t turn out to bad. Now that it is done, it can go off to get powder coated.

I like it but you headlight also needs work LOL. Nice fab work on the mount, as it integrates well.

Hahaha...Yes, headlight does need a little work. Was fun getting the old gauge off in one piece. I figured I would be back in there, so no point putting it back together only to take it apart again.

I figured this mount might be an easy way to integrate it, without looking like I was trying to make one from scratch.
