\nThat’s quite a sharp spec\u2026 hmm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWell, first things first. The seat mounting is corroded and won’t stay fastened.
\nI mean, seat bolts and all that\u2026 it’s rough, right?<\/p>\n

If possible, a standard receiver bracket is the smart way to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSince it’s a hassle, I’m grinding the plate and reusing it. Sorry, no M8 weld nut on hand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paint it,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\ncountersink and taper rivet,<\/p>\n

\"\"
\ndone twice.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe area under the seat is pretty involved\u2026 I’ll get to that later\u2026<\/p>\n

\nMy favorite Battle Factory arrived. Wow, it’s beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nI’ll grind it for a uniform finish.<\/p>\n

\nto limit the handlebar turning angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWithout handlebar lock, it fails inspection. I’ll trim it a bit so the lock works.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNext, the decompressor lever position is bad, so I’m cutting it from the holder, making a plate, and getting it ready.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThen weld and grind.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe underside is tight on layout, so I’m not making it fancy up there.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nA barring plate might work well in that empty hole?<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt’s good to push with your thumb, but maybe I should keep it parallel to the clutch lever\u2026<\/p>\n
