You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

Nothing new yet Mister Nappy, I sort of skipped a heard and redone some other parts, then did a mock up to test fit. I wanted to incorporate the heavy duty seat frame {easy ride} but this is not possible with the hydro cooling fan, without substantial modifications. I am hoping to get some parts to the chrome plating shop next week. Be patient.

I am too Geno, the estimate from the chrome shop was HIGH so I made a trip over there to renegotiate a bit lower after removing some screws and a couple rods. Good news, I may be getting them in two weeks instead of 4. Meanwhile I did a mock up of the gas tank and toolbox it was not allowing enough clearance for the hinges on the cover, so subsequently I have to add a bit to the gas tank riser and move the toolbox back. I also will need to use the shorter transaxle dipstick. No pics yet.

Needed a measurement for the extended fender supports, so I consequently did a mock-up of some of the parts to sort of determine about how long the extended fender supports would need to be. Took some pics but the lighting was not the best so they didn't turn out too well, but here they are.
