sweet that’s quick of ya! i like the idea of no bolts. that way i just have to remove the starter and press the plug in. it should be fine with a snug fit and gets bonded in. i’ll get you the diameters soon here.

would a groove for an o-ring be a pain in the nuts to add? (not model-wise, I know that’s easy…I mean for actually MAKING it)

DUDE. You might have ordered the wrong shocks…the ones pictured are eye-eye…I don’t remember checking, but isn’t your bike eye-clevis?

I checked google, and I’m pretty sure the bottom mount is a clevis…

well snug fit and bond fit require a different diameter. I’d go with bond in just because there is more room for error. Hell, I bet RTV would work to hold it in. I’ll make the plug .015" ish smaller than the diameter you give me. I also found a piece of thick plexiglass that I could make one out of. Then you can polish it and it might be see-through

I could do an o-ring groove if you find something you want to use that we can get a dimension from. I’d just cnc the pocket then turn the o-ring grove while holding onto the not-tapered side then flip it and taper it. If you bond it in then you won’t need an o-ring, though.

Got a few things done yesterday. I went to Jo-Ann fabrics with my ma to pick up supplies to make the cushion for the seat. Picked up some thin black vinyl, bright red strong thread and high density foam. Once the seat pan is finished being shaped, I’ll be starting on the cushion.

I also grabbed this old Bell helmet that used to be my dads from my parents house haha

Today my dad brought over the welder him and my brother bought me for xmas. He also gave me a 3ft bottle of shielding gas full 🙂

Then he helped me set it up and on I went practicing for a little bit

On a bad note (well it could have been worse) we took the head off my civic and found a valve with a chunk missing out of it ☹

nope lol. We decided it’s best to spend the $15-20 to just get some universal ears for 33mm fork tubes and go that route. The rearsets however…will work like a damn dream on this thing. Spent some time sketching up how to get them mounted/working, nick has to order some stuff for mounts and linkages, but otherwise they’ll work sweet.

last night all we got done besides brainstorming the rearsets was cut some things off the frame and made an electronics/battery tray panel and welded it on the frame.

Here is the plate we decided to go with instead of the box for tbe electronics.

It will have more clearance being a plate on top of the frame.

I have to order 1" coped bungs to weld on the frame to mount the rear sets. I will be out in the garage later messing around with a few things. Oh I still need to get the measurements for the starter delete plug.

Stopped at buffalo rv on he way home from work and picked up this little battery, $22. And then when I got home my shocks came in. I have a few ideas how to mount them at the bottom, with them being an eye instead of clevis.
