HA! Yeah, thought about that, but I'm a sucker for a challenge. Besides, what the hell else am I gonna do, it's f*ckin cold outside!

Well, got the plate cut out today. Decided to save the $$$ and do it myself as opposed to having it machined. Cut it out of 1/4" aluminum plate. Still needs some black powder, and all that wiring needs to be done, but should have that done in the next day or so. Once I get the wheels back from powder, throw some WW on it and it should be ready for when the warm weather gets here!

A bit cold here on the east coast today, probably gonna be worse tomorrow.

But, I managed to get the bike side of the wiring buttoned up and into the Deutsch, the toggle for the ignition should be here in the next couple days. Going to drop the speedo bracket off for powder tomorrow, and wheels, rotors and pulley should be coming back from powder soon. Looking like I might be able to finish this up in the next couple weeks, at least this part of the mods anyway. Still need to fab a new rear splash guard and decide what I'm going to do about paint........

In case there's anyone still following this, got all the parts back from powder today, including the bracket. Still waiting on switches to show up, but here's a couple pics of where it is now....
