She rides.

So, for the past week, Rocky has been on the road. She’s like 98% complete too. All she basically needs now is a proper side mount for her plate (currently zip ties are working fantastically) and a dedicated brake light. The two small lights work great now as running lights and brakes, but that means no blinkers. She doesn’t have the right wiring to have the two light be running, brakes and signals. So, I’ll most likely get a side mount plate with a light built into it.

I’d also like to put some lower springs on the seat. I think. We’ll see. I didn’t really run into any issues getting her rear fender on. The ones made for the Kikker5150 bikes fit perfect. It’s got the right arc and exactly the right width for a 150/90/15 tire. I had to fabricate some fender supports which took a few hours, but they are working wonderfully.

I snapped a few photos after work today. Enjoy them below along with some others from the build. Hayoooo.
