Just backstep and turn signal <\/span><\/strong>please (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)

I said something like that would be totally fine, but…

Let’s remove this mysterious step <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After removing it, I noticed… something happened in the past. . .
It was all bent out of shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shift side was “down-down” which was a bit awkward with the side stand and spring nearby.
With Itou’s new step, it becomes “up-up” so there’s more layout clearance.
I’m a bit concerned about the sandwich-style torque rod boss on the brake side. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let’s proceed with the simpler shift side first.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The shift side was installed at lightning speed.
I was thinking I’d work on other bikes after installing the brake side, but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The torque rod boss plate can’t be reused…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I thought it would just stay as is, but this is a common custom bike thing.
Two options:
\u30fbMake an avoidance plate
\u30fbWeld boss to swing arm\u2192shorten torque rod
Since it looks like I’ll get deeper into this, I’ll proceed with fabrication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since we’re not a custom shop, materials are limited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Super tight… I found a 2017 and gave it a try!
After a long time“Switch to a thin contour blade and it breaks…”<\/strong>I’m too lazy to weld the blade so I’ll just push through. . .
That was the end of Golden Week for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Originally +5mm 15mm thick<\/span><\/strong>=the nut won’t fit on the back so I milled out a relief.
I finished it straight and simple without fussing (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh yeah, perfect!
Glad it worked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh no… the brake hose won’t reach. . .
There seems to be a dedicated brake switch, but…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Temporary fixing is complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
