The mirrors are nice-looking, Ross, but appear to me be a non-trivial safety problem for your hands/wrists in a sudden get-off.

They wont fold down onto my hands if i come off.

Gosh Ross, you certainly have lead a charmed life! Congrats!

Love the bags, too!

The colourblind guy, me, attacked the tail light and indicator wiring today. What could go wrong? It was time to fit the 33 Ford tail light and indicators to match the ones on the front of the bike. Also the rear guard was being changed. The rear guard was made by cutting down a Suzuki TS125 inner guard. Smaller and changed the whole profile of the back end.

The tail light and indicators do work. Helps to ask you wife what colour is what.









Then and now.

My shed is tiny. So I use the back covered area of the house to do major work.

Needs more hammer finish Charcoal.

[Ross]

It sure did need more hammer finish charcoal.

Tested the rattle paint on the sidecover that will never go back on the bike. The hammer finish does not bubble.

Mask up the design. Rough up the paint with some 400 grit sandpaper. This will help the hammer finish grip.

Get really nervous as I apply the paint. I hope this works out.
It did and I am more than happy.
Yes there was some paint bleed under the tape. I am not fused with this. This was never going to be a show pony make over.
