Shiniest commode in Easey St. - With Catheter
SCOOTERLABS WEBSITE
With time definitely NOT on my side, I decided not to wait for the German mail to bring (what appears to be) the only alloy rear GS flywheel shroud in the whole world.
I took a VB1 version, which is different in a few ways and 'adapted' it with the grinder, linisher, dremel, file and sandpaper. Now I have a cooling system that will suffice until either the mail arrives - OR I find another example.
Finally wired up the brake switch and am pleased to say my bespoke wiring based on logic worked perfectly. everything is in perfect working order and the engine starts first kick every time.
The maiden run was up and down the street, buzzing the Harley guys down at the Kustom Kommune, with my backside hanging in the place where the tank is supposed to be. The temporary tank was a piece of hose and a bottle.
Next thing is tank/seat and sidepanels. then it is proper riding time.

Media Blackout Approaching
Things are going together nicely. Not without hurdles, but it does feel nice to have the front end together.
Soon the custom stuff will begin and I will keep it under wraps until it is finished.

BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
website
Well I got the paint on. VERY happy with the consistency of the metallic. Big thanks to my mate up the road for the 'close mentoring' when it was crunch time.
The body work is not perfect by a long shot but I am very pleased with what I have achieved by myself. As I keep saying - I normally take my clients scooters to professional panelbeaters to be done perfectly. I reserve the right to have a play.
Anyway... floor rails are in , cables are in, wiring loom is in.
I am still in need of a brake pedal. The alloy rear flywheel cowl has gone missing in the post from Germany
