I got a fair bit of the primer done this afternoon. The bracket is ready for the top coat and the front mudguard is covered. I'm going to sand it down and do a couple more coats of primer on that tomorrow. That way I can see how the gloss paint goes on to the bracket before I try it on the showy bits.
I also fitted the rear mudguard and lined up the tail light and sat the seat on it. Looks as though I may be able to use the rack I had fitted to the old fender. I was thinking I may need to get it cut down but if I fit it the reverse of way it was on before it may just fit.
One thing though, the black coiled springs I bought wont fit as the mounting holes don't match up exactly. I'll need to use the scissor type springs that came with the kit. I don't really want to use them as they're chrome so I'll see if I can get a set of black powder-coated ones on e-bay.
I'm beginning to believe I just may get it all to come together. Some time!
