Tear down is complete. Gonna head down to powdercoat tomorrow.
Picked up the idea of mounting the voltage regulator under the frame from the guys at Quad Cam Bastards, so the last bit of fab was getting that cut out and welded in. Other than turning down one axle spacer, all the fabrication is done.
Aren't they? I'm surprised at how well those come out. I just shoot these on my cheapo phone, and generally the camera sucks. But it seems to handle to bright welding stuff pretty well.
Just got back from dropping everything off at the powdercoater. Damn. Felt like a young mother watching her kid heading off to school alone for the first time.
Bad news is they are slammed, so I'm not getting it back until a week from Friday.
The Allen set screw you were talking about for the Jiffy stand.... Wouldn't that be a stop for the Jiffy stand so it doesn't rate on the motor case or frame?

That's what one of the guys on the Quad Cam Bastards forum suggested. That must be what it is.
Minor bit of excitement while I wait on the powdercoat guys.
Cut down the front wheel spacer over at Mark's yesterday, so that's all set.
Mail man just delivered my clutch and throttle cables. Barnett had a stock length for the clutch, but they custom made the throttle. Now I just have to wait a week or so and hope that I measured them correctly.
