Well, my plans to ride this summer is busted as summer is over and my bubbles is still not running... Got super busy at work with some ridiculous hours and had no time or energy for my projects. Things are better atm so I'm nipping at it again. Here's what I did since last time I was here:
My radiator fan with a bit of trimming fit right in a radiator slot so all was needed is JB Weld and it goes nowhere. Sprayed my radiator as well. With the fan being tight to the radiator I got ~6mm gap between fan's motor and cut off original fan's shaft, perfect!
After all was done I realized that my temperature gauge sensor doesn't fit anywhere I had to solder it and then respray part radiator again:
Washed my tank for painting, sanded, sprayed satin black, red on top. With fine sandpaper and scrub pads weathered it, got my logo with a sharpie on and sprayed satin clearcoat on. I'm aiming here for scruffy-patina-rat-rod'ish look here. Color scheme is flat red with flat black
Rebuilt front forks, messy business...
Yamaha R1 shock swap, needed few spacers there or there.
Painted my wheels. Oh boy, just cleaning of grease, sanding and taping took forever and a half...
