Slow goin'...

Well it's been two and a bit months since my last post, but for good reasons (mainly working weekends, working in the yard, etc etc!). Over that time I have only the odd hour here and there to work on the Vulcan, but it has gone through a few changes - enough to warrant some new pictures anyway!

Changes include:
- Biltwell Handlebars ("Chumps")
- Sheet of metal underneath the Seat ('Seat plate') has been (roughly) cut out
- Front of seat now mounted to Seat Plate, rather than Tank mount
- Bracket created underneath Seat Plate to stop the Seat Plate from flexing under weight of rider ('Seat support bracket')
- Started to cut down Front fender, but yet to 'back' side of it, or decide on a final shape

Still to come:
- Some custom, black hand controls and new grips (Hopefully - struggling to find some good ones that aren't way over priced!)
- Clean up the edges and mounting of the Seat Plate and Seat Support Bracket
- Small sissy bar - replacing current rear fender struts
- Finish front fender
- Barrel Springs for the solo seat (rather than the current ones)
- Adjust suspension (discussed in earlier post)
- Shorter bolts for the Seat Bracket (hopefully black!)
- Get RWC and Registered
- Paint!!
