Ola Amigos

Looks like this will be the last post of the year. Am still working on the mock-up. So picking up where I left off, I started working on the back fender. To start with, it needed to be cut off to allow the chain to go thru.
Then I needed to do the bung so I could fix the fender to the frame.
Then considering the tank is not very big and that I might change the carb or rebore the cylinder I decided to fix a safety tank to the frame.
and while I was using my voltemeter for my shovel I then decided to look at the stator and as it turn out, the stator will need to be changed
in normal circumstances it should read 5 to 7 when the voltemeter is set on ohms 200. Then back onto the back fender
then I needed to work on the strut but it turn out the one I had was a bit too short and therefore needed to fabricated some extension.
when I was more or less satisfied I worked on the back brake, but as it turn out I will have some serious issue with having the exhaust so since I was already thinking of building my own exhaust, it looks like I will have to choose that option if I put the back brake the way it is suppose to be
I was then more or less finish with the mock up. I need to work on few things and then weld some more parts, but the overall idea is there.
