I got the bottom stock fender mount bent this morning so the fender is where i want it i just have to weld the top frame mounts. Hopefully tomorrow i will get kickstand welded on and then i can move to pulling out the donor engine. I am still playing with the battery box.

Call me ignorant (because I'm smart enough to know I am), but won't the chain hit the fender??

Yes it will hit the fender, after i get the motor in it then i can see exactly where the chain will be then i can cut a the fender where the chain will be. I have made some progress i hope to have it ready to put the motor in this week.

Well....there are lateral g-forces which amplify the torsional exactlitudes and rectify the tractionary transitional gear, thusly applying sufficient rotational grippification to the tarmac.

Pretty simple really.

There's no brake. Is that it?
