The temporary pause was because we were waiting for materials.
We’ve completed the test ride with minimal bodywork. It’s 87% finished.

License plate light bracket fabrication. It’s removable with a single bolt.

I got worried that the license plate light might not fit, but we managed to clear it.

We replaced the front wheel bearings since they hadn’t been changed.
They work, but the right disk is warped…

It’s very stiff at first, so we work it in and get it seated properly.

I got hung up on bolt selection and fell behind schedule.
Whether to use flanged bolts or not… if flanged, there’s no electroless nickel plating option. White looks a bit cheap, and I wish we had nickel plating available.

I always end up overthinking it. Having unlimited product choices thanks to the internet is both a blessing and a curse.

MDN = electroless nickel or whatever abbreviation… it’s almost done, so just a bit more to go.
