Bolted up fine to stock mounting hole in air-box.

Changed this side of the air-box. Made a step on the end of the spacer so if can sit into the hole on the gusset. Will end up making a new spacer as the stock one is about 2mm to short when I make the air-box level.

Didn't do a lot today apart from make some spacers.

Going to get more parts this week for the leak tester. Start putting parts on the frame this weekend to see what I still need to buy and make. Then it will be off to the media blaster / powder coater.
 
Spent a lot of today in shed putting parts a the bike and making a list of bolts, nuts, washer that I need. Get some bling ones.

This will be the last time I will be putting the bike together to make sure everything fits and that I have everything I need. Then I will be stripping it all and off to powder cost.

And I installed this only to find my handle bars are to short. :( Clutch side is fine but the throttle side is not. The brake lever ends up mounting on the bend. :(. So I have 2 options: Option 1: buy new handle bars (Long ones) or option 2: buy shorter hand grips.
