Been slammed lately and trying to keep my head above water ... not a whole lot of progress but here's some pics of what I had gotten done ...

hoping to get some black in there too

Image

light works

Image

not enough to see at night, but I should be seen at night just fine with it

Image

thinking about just stickering the thing instead of painting it ... jury is still out though

Were you able to get the battery pack in to the housing of that light? Looks clean like the switch right on top of it as well.

Yup its in there, i tried zip ties to hold it in place through those 4 holes left by the mounting bracket but it kept squeezing the batteries out. finally just electrical taped the thing together and tucked it in the bottom, im sure the original bulb is pushing a little bit on it but it still tightens up just fine and the pressure doesnt feel like much. I'm sure it will keep the battery holder from bouncing around in there. If it came with AA's instead of AAA's I don't think it would of fit though.

The gray/black/white combination is looking better all the time. That chainguard is cool.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Painted the tank, ready for decals

Image

Ditched the old fork, got this one free junk fork from my lbs, rethreaded it and spaced it there before I left too :)

Image

Had to make some brackets to mount the truss rods, stack height was too much to get away without them.
