Question, what's the adjustment screw on the master? Is it for a brake light? Never saw one like that before.
It's coming together very nicely. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I think it's just for adjusting the position of the lever relative to the grip.
There's no provision for a brake light switch on the controls themselves, so I got these banjo bolts with integrated switches:
Not a one. The only switches will be the two for the brakes.
I do have to have a horn to pass inspection. I'm going to bolt a cheapo, battery powered bike horn on the bars, then take it off after the State approves.
Here's one for the "Can't believe that worked" list.
I was doing some final fitting on the fender, getting ready to fabricate the new struts, when I realized the radius was just a tad too small.
After a fair amount of noodling, I had the idea of using a tie down to squeeze it against this pole in my garage. Took a few tries and a frightful amount of force (I was sure it was going to buckle at any second), but I'll be damned if it didn't get there.
Re-made the rear struts for the newly modified fender and got that all welded up. Really glad I went ahead and re-did all that. Very pleased with the result.
Bad news on the exhaust. The cold saw I was planning on using isn't making it on that stainless tubing. Got though about ten cuts and that was all she wrote. Going to have to figure something else out.
