"Tin Man"
In the last two weeks, upgraded the bars, risers and fabbed a new mounting plate to attach same to the stock Yamaha trees.
Set out to ride last Saturday, got about 15 miles and broke a throttle cable. Replaced that in the parking lot of my Bug mechanic's shop (lucky it broke where it did!). Got it home and replaced the rear brake pads while I was at it.
Set out to ride today, and the clutch cable snapped! Made a new one and installed it, and while I was at it, put on new passenger foot rests, also made by yours truely. Got it prepped to install a new set of gauges, and made the harness for that today, too. Also got a new set of front pegs. Hafta fab a mounting bracket for those next weekend!
Hopefully, I'm runnin' outta stuff to fix!! Maybe tomorrow, I can actually ride!!
