As I figure out how to get this back end to work, the devil is in the details. This original locking washer for the sissy mount has a tab that sticks out a little far, so I ground it off them. That way the new sissy mount can butt right up against the frame.
I checked out the caliper and the space it will need. I’ll need to design some mounts. The goal will be to get them to look like seamless parts of the frame.
Before I do any of that I need to get the rear wheel and fender situated. I need to move the lower fender mount back, so I cut it off and cut back the extension. (No pic). I’ll also need to move the brake brace up, so I’m just replacing it since I don’t need the brake mount hole. So I cut.
And smoothed it out
On Friday I’ll work open the frame a little more with some dimpling, and weld in the new pieces.
