Doing a thing, part 2

Wetsanded, polished and installed. Since the radiator end covers are not appearing in the technical parts catalog anymore and I already have my shop all set up to do this stuff I may just jump in and skin them myself as well.

You have some serious skills!

I know I said I was done, but I needed a little forged goodness to look at while I'm riding...

 

[Tom]

Sorry, but you never said you was done; and there are still some parts that can be skinned!
And how about a complete tank cover skinned with forged carbon...
Keep up the amazing work!

I'm definitely doing the radiator covers but that will make the bike pretty silly looking while they are off, so that is going to wait until the winter. Key surround should be done this week, last touchups of resin went on this morning.

I actually think the chain guard is too much, probably going to sell that and then do the heel guards. PM me if anyone is interested in the chain guard

I pulled the front end off to check on relocating the display over the handlebars. It is a no go unless you are willing to de-pin the plug and extend all the wires 10cm. The KTM's either run longer cables or route the wiring differently. Maybe I'll do it over the winter if I get bored, but for now no kiska-type front flyscreen

 

[Tom]

And no way to tighten or reroute the cable further down?

 

[toast449]

The only way it might work is if you open up the main bundle right before it goes forward of the forks and route it up from there. The problem is there is zero room to run it up at that point, it would pinch when you turn the bars to the right.

Finished the key bezel, pretty happy with how it turned out.
