Just killed another hour or so in the shop.  Now just showing off a bit because I like some of the details.  Even if I thought of them two years ago.... 

Here's a before and after of the swingarm blocks.  In the "after" the caps are installed.  Was hoping the flash photo would catch it more.  But the caps are painted in a red pearl so they color shift a bit against the powder coat red of the frame.

And there is chrome in places it'll never be seen.....

[Twolanerider]

Actually.... several places that'll never be seen (except for the guy who cleans the bike).

And in a move toward actual functionality nearly all the cabling and electrics are run.

And, yes, I realize no one but me cares about much of the detail.  But since this quasi documentary started here I like having it all in one place.  So live with it !

Very nice, I'll stay tuned!

Keep the photos coming Don! I love the details!

Been there, done that. Elvis had stealth chrome in places even I'd forget about from time to time. It matters cause at some point somebody notices and they're like "wow, you even chromed the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "

A high goal would be to get close to as good now as Elvis was when you had it.  That was a sweet bike.

Another 90 minutes in the shop tonight.  Swapped the original stator for the 2006 version for the 3 stage conversion then hung the chrome inner primary.

And, in the vein of "too much detail" (for anyone but Mark!), mounted the bracked and internal electrics and ran the harness for the Powerlet power adapter.  Used for the battery tender and the heated clothes.

Perhaps the best thing of the evening was hanging the Brembo calipers.  Have been wanting to see what the chrome calipers with the red shields would look like.  Believe that's a subtle detail I'm going to like a lot for a long time .

Wider field of view.

Oh yeah, also put this little bugger together tonight while I was out there.  My niece's Christmas .

High praise coming from you! Is the cover of that outlet powder coated like the other red parts?
