I'll put this here. I guess it's my bodywork thread. It's been so damn hot the last 4 months, I just didn't feel like working on the bike unless I had to or do it inside. Lots to do now it's cooler.

Repainted the side cover the goat scraped on. He also ate a hole in a 5' barrel cactus. A candidate for BBQ.
I added a finished clip and deleted the other one.

Also finished the wireing to the top box. Had to get some more bullet connectors for under the seat. Will clean up that rat's nest when I take it all off to paint the tail fin. Boxes need some more paint too.

Not only did Jack the goat scratch my side cover and my tank he also ate a 100 year old cactus. He's one step away from the BBQ.

Well it cracked again. Added some cleats and will add some mounts. Also painted the tail. More to do there.

It's the dirt roads that do it. Good thing I don't ride a HD. :lol:

Cracked again. This time I have some sheet pieces to add to it. A good welder too.

Got some plate steel to weld in two braces on the rack. Have to fix the fender first. Hopefully I won't have to use those supports going to the tail light bracket anymore.
