winter weather

It's been so dark these past few days I've just not been able to get anything done.

I've got a new seat and the spring seat mounting kit to fit. I bought a universal bracket which fits on the underside of the seat. The mounting bolts are different on the Harley seat which is typical, but I'll probably make a bracket to fit with the Harley front mounting bracket.

I also need to get the tank sealed so I can get prepared to paint it but that too will take a dry, bright day. 

They just don't seem to be happening right now!

gathering .....

...... bits 'n' pieces together so I'll have all the parts I need before I start the next phase.

I've got the seat mount as I said in my previous post and as soon as I've decided which one I want I'll buy a seat. I am actually leaning towards the Harley one although I have seen a plainer one on e-bay which I should be able to adapt to fit.

I've ordered the mounting brackets for the front indicators. I went for the Rebuffini ones. There were less expensive choices (almost half the price) available but the ones I've ordered are slim and will look much neater. Now I need to decide on which indicators I'm going to use. The ones out in front, for now, are the Kellerman ones. I can get the rear ones in a turn/stop light configuration for when I replace the rear mudguard.
I'll get the front mudguard ordered as soon as I have figured out how much I've got left when christmas shopping is out of the way.
It's all small bits and pieces but when they're all added up together they will still come to a tidy sum. The only good bit about it all is that I can get the bike back on the road at any time without doing all the work.
Except for filling and painting the tank, which I've already started so have to finish.
