Subframe arrived yesterday.
A moment... please.
OK, we're back. Yeah, good night it was. It's actually, in my estimation, (and this is my blog, so I guess my estimation is the only estimating that's going one around here), the first real indication of a turn. The change from laid back and laze-ey motorcycle to wake up and look for the next curve motorcycle.
My kind of change.
The stance is really comical now. The back end is becoming all business and the front is still very much stuck in Never Never Land where no one grows up and everyone likes Twinkies. (I made up that last part, and yes, I like Twinkies. Who doesn't like Twinkies??).
But I digress. So the test fit went well for the new subframe and things align and check out.
Lots to do coming up. The seat should be arriving from container ship in LA somewhere today or tomorrow or soon. And now I've got some work to do and things to figure out. Like how to make a jumble of wires and relays 4 1/2 inches longer, and where can I hide all the wires and what sort of taillight from a 1924 Ford pickup can I find. Or something along those lines.
Which all just means one thing. I get to get back to the custom part of it all; making it mine, make it what I want (or what I can manage), and enjoy the trip along the way.
Sleep be damned.
