umberto:
I struggled with the plastic a little bit, but I think the Clarke oversized tank is to blame. Once I got them on the bike, I think all the problems can be fixed with a little sanding. Anyway, here is a picture of where I stopped for the day.
umberto:
Besides the plastic adjustments around the gas tank, I will need to get the seat shortened a little bit. It's about 3/4" too long, but I once again attribute this to the Clarke tank. I think if you had the stock tank, or an IMS tank, you would be fine. All in all I am very pleased with this kit. For the price, it is very well engineered.
umberto:
I got my plastic fitting really well, and updated my brackets to fit around the tank. This kit really updates the ergonomics. I’m really pleased with the purchase.
The last step is to blow it apart to powder coat the frame. I’m going to start that tomorrow.
umberto:
Well, I finally did it. I broke Goliath down for the finishing touches. I'm taking the frame, frame guards, and pipe mount to the powder coater tomorrow. I'm excited to see how it comes out once it's all together with the new plastics and graphics.
I posted a couple of pictures of the carnage. It's so weird seeing a pile of parts where my bike used to be. :-o
ftc:
maybe i missed it but what color? or is it a suprise?
