Mucking about with mocking up!

I have been at it again after a bit of a rest, seems it's a few hours in the garage and the rest of the week knackered and mostly horizontal but hey any progress is good!

I have been exploring options for the wiring at the back end, the number plate mount and a bit of fiddling with a back rest our Kay has proclaimed must be fitted or else!

I've had another go with the fibre glass as well and there is no longer a gap betwixt the side panel or top cover on the left of the bike, Pictures below. Once the other side panel arrives I'll do the same on t'other side.

The original side cover lip now tucks away under the lip of the cover, much like it did with the original seat.I think it's a lot tidier and will keep most of the weather off the K&N filter we are fitting

I've drilled the middle of the cross on the mud guard mount and fitted a steel tube with a hole in the bottom and near the top. The top will be capped with a welded bolt and turned down to make it pretty.

The wiring for the rear light is going up the tube so will be hidden apart from near the light itself. It carries the cross through two planes now and looks not too bad at all.

  The number plate hanger is welded to the back of the upright cross.

The aluminium mount is for the seat pad, It's off a Kawasaki so I had to file the lettering off. The mounting points for the seat pad will be picked up from behind the seat to the arms of the cross and that should stiffen the whole back end up nicely.

Time for a roll up and brew, or perhaps even something a bit stiffer!
