Man you do work fast.. Last time I checked you where just buying rear-sets and now they are already mounted. Where did you get the material to weld threaded bosses to the frame to mount your pegs? I hear you on recovery time getting older. Really knocks the wind out of your sails the next day.

Rural King is where i got them I was worried about them being strong enough but I have beat the piss out of em with a hammer and the dont move I may add a small gusset but i am pretty confident they will hold and not break

Thanks man It's fuel line I bought from Z1E when I first put it together I am assuming its the same stuff. After reading up on it and a failed attempt to procure Tygon tubing in the right diameter locally I realized that the stuff they have was the same as what I had leftover lol Hope it works

maybe u could just email z1e and verify that is good for this app. i tried clear fuel line before and the fuel made it go brittle and useless in 2 years. Obviously the stuff I bought was not correct for the app. So I bought the black rubber and its been fine since.
so we just have to make sure to use the proper type of hose for each application.
The Tygon is supposed to be good for brake fluid, so I will give it a go.

Today was not a good day I have one weld left to make and Febuary finished date is next weekend
so I am gonna make the last weld and if I dont get it ridable atleast the welding is done
Wrong! I get there today and the garage has been cleaned to a pin and the welder taken back. I was heart broke I mean litterally heart broke
Trying to stay greatful for the use of the welder and garage I am in a bit of a jam.
So as the saga goes another deadline missed
The good news is now I can slow down a little I guess, and work on the finishing touches and my seat
I still have my painted tank to repair and alot of things to finish up before riding season but
until I ride it I may be just doing busy work.
I got some really good pic's today but left my camera at the garage. I have a feeling I will be working this week anyway but damn I was close.
maybe I can get the seat done and my leak fixed oh yeah and my frren bolt removed and a neutral switch put back in it

I'm about 45min north of terra haute and it doesn't have to be this weekend, I just need about a weeks notice. I could use the change of pace.
This was the last 2 days work.
