90 Percent done; the devil is in the details

Well, I declare the Bobber Project 90% done. Now the devil is in the details.

The core of the bike is complete. New fender and old tank painted. Main components powder-coated black or spray painted black. Final stages include:

Right hand side:

• Trim exhaust ends flush with each other to achieve "shotgun" look.
• Fiber wrap the exhaust to hid the rusty chrome and make the pipes safer for foot and leg (ouch)!
• Fill in the reverse embossed K&N logo in the air cleaner with Bondo to make it smooth and paint it black.

Center:

• Stain the seat brown instead of black.

Left hand side:

• Relocate the license plate to mid frame and illuminate.

Front end:

• Paint the fork lowers black
• Update the front turns similar to the rears but in yellow.
• Add black covers to the upper fork tubes.
• Add black gaiters to the lower fork tubes.
• Optionally, use old fender to build fork brace.

These can all be done as one, two day projects. Goal is to keep the bike running most of the time. I had let it sit too long last time and the carb varnished up requiring me to take it apart and clean.

Long term project is to clean wiring exposed on the left hand side under the seat with some kind of cover, but for now it's fine to be exposed.
