Ok, so it’s been long over due, and there have been tons of hiccups, but I can finally stop in to give a short update on the bike.  Yay!  The finishing touches are being done on the tail section welding as we speak, reinforcing the aluminum tubing we’re using to strengthen the section where the bolts go.  All that’s left to do is put the plastics back on, hook up the tail light, install the rear pegs, put the seats on, and we’re ready to go!  Of course it’ll be in full rat bike mode for awhile.  I’m not having the bike painted until I get a new tank.  We’re rocking the beat up JB Welded one for now, and I’ll get a new tank and have everything painted during the winter.  All I have to say is YAY!  It’s about damn time!
