While in a sorta lull on Cathy's Bobber, I went ahead and started fabbing the tag bracket/tail light...side mount for my Bober today. Not quite finished yet, but a decent start. The back plate, and axle mount are 1/8" steel. The light mount is 16ga. steel. The tail light and license frame came from J&P.      I'll try to wrap it up tomorrow, and do some pics of the finished sub assembly. Hopefully I'll have the "Purple People Eater" in the shop, for tear down, and work next week. |

Busy day today, got some work done on the seat support. Still a ton to do on this one piece tho...   Also got the Bilski 3" spiked extension installed, 4 " risers, mock-up with the 12" Apes...  we'll see where tomorrow goes...tomorrow. But I'll most certainly be moving forward. |
