    Drilled out thr cap and test fitted the fuel hose. Have to find the fittings for the hose but its coming along. As for the JD bottle, it fits VERY nicely. Im a little worried about the vibrations in general. Still contemplating on what to use for a solution.

    Not much done. Doing a lot of cleaning in storage lately. Got the brackets for the front drilled. Need to get a longer axle stud due to clearance issues. Also put in a JD bottle as another gas tank/extension. Going to hide the boost bottle under the seat ... hoping it will work. JD Bottle...

    as of now, the headlight it ready to be wired up to an on/off switch which I am also wiring to the tail light (I'm taking the dual light headlight, LED mod with one of the LED's as a constant "on" when I trigger the headlight and a toggle "off/on" - with it naturally "off" and "on" when...

    It's pretty bright and I know for a fact someone will be able to see this coming at them. As for that trim ring that was in the flash light originally, I'm not really sure what happened to it, but when I opened up the housing to get to the LED's, it warped somehow. It has been VERY sunny lately...

    Got some work done on the headlight. Soldered the wiring, but lost one of the LED bulbs along the way. Might get another one since they are only a dollar lol. Imo, came out better than I thought it would.

    More shots of the fork. The last shot is how much i had to grind (not much really but fits perfectly). Need to line up where im gonna drill the holes for the fork/wheel plate and then get bolts. Also got around to drilling a hole for the LED headlight mod. Need to borrow or buy a...

    Got more work done on the forks. Found the other set of these centering spacers i had. Grinded out the mountain bike fork so that they would fit.

    And that was me using my shirt to scrub it off!!!! The swirlies you see within the botch, that was from the steel wool, I thought I could clean it off. It most likely just made it worse.

    Well this sux.... not sure why but I used some glue to help with the led mock up... BAD IDEA. Was trying to clean it out, and well, this is what i ended up doing to this PERFECTLY good light housing :(

    Started on the headlight mod. Going from bulb to led (this was on the OCC bike, figured it would help with the ugly front i have atm). Previous bulb: Led: The back piece is large as all heck. So im going to buy the bullet hl w/high beam setting (use for brake light) mate the wiring with...

    Got the seat mounted, might leave it as is, works perfectly or put in a bolt to keep the seat from tilting (all thats really holding the seat to the seat mount is the seat springs). Got the chain clearance i need, but wondering if it'll bee too much stress on the steel staps. Might have to...

    Got the seat mounted today. Have to secure the front of it and add the cross brace that was on it originally but getting close. Found some steel straps at OSH. Fairly thick, about same as the steel plate. Lucked out today too. The small bolt holes by the rear dropout were threaded, plus were...
