She grew a pair.

Alrighty. Let’s keep this short. Yes, I’m still waiting on a fender. But, I ordered one from a guy that I think is going to fit. It will be here this week, so I’ll know soon enough. I fabricated some brackets for the solo seat and it looks and functions great. It’s not on in any of the photos because I haven’t got the right hardware for it yet. But that’s easy stuff. You can see the mega-ghetto paint station I set up. As strange as it looks, it actually works surprisingly well. I painted the tank and front fender flat black. The fender came out great, the tank, not so much. I mean, it looks fine, but it’s not perfect. Turns out there are a lot more dings and dents than I thought. It gives it character though, so whatevs.
I got the MCM cocktail shaker mufflers put on and they sound funky fresh. You can see how cramped the factory pipes are once you cut off the factory mufflers. That’s where the baffles were. I’ll remedy that soon. Peep pics below for looks (forgive the darkness of them, I’ll take some new ones soon) and peep the video below to hear how it sounds now. Enjoy everything I just shared with you.
