the welds for the back brake were done with flux core due to a sudden gas shortage. all of the welds have good penetration though, should hold up well, I hope.

had to add a cross tube for the seat, it will also help when I put the fender on.
I just cut some bolts and welded em in place for the springs.
put a piece chromo over it to protect the threads and a magnet to hold in place

ok, I'm done until next weekend. I have a couple full weeks of boring hazmat training, damn you 9/11. I'll probably order some stuff tonight(brake pads, clutch, levers, chain), any good online stores that I should know about?
what size is the chain? of the 2 I have, they are different (1 o-ring, 1 regular), so I cant mix em up because they don't fit. I need about 8-10" if anyone can send on my way.
things left to do
-rear brake linkage
-mount battery tray
-find the gas tank I want to run
-order some pods
-make an electronics housing
-get rid of some wires in the harness

Rich,
I like what your doing with the hardtail, I've really been thinking about doing something along those lines with my gs750 this winter. I noticed you had vet plates along with the "Dick" plate. What service you in? I'm up here in MA with the USMC.

Sounds like fun! I'm dying to go somewhere, stuck on I&I duty right now so I can't deploy for another 2 years.

I&I duty anywhere is better than oki for 2 years.
here is what I did today, since I got out of work at 3
since I'm a firefighter, I thought it would be appropriate
welded some tabs on (old bed frame)
R

drilled some holes and made the frame tabs
I still have to cap the right side and make the edges around the battery, although I'm thinking of mounting all of the electronics in it with a hinged top and mounting the battery low behind the engine since its so heavy. I'll figure it out on the weekend I guess

here's a different view and it's been repainted a gloss black since I took the pic.
BTW, I know its a big world, but I have an old friend that trains SAR in San Diego b y the name of John Molloy. He's got about 18 years in by now. Just wonder if you ever crossed paths.

connected a switch temporarily instead of a keyed ignition, so its easier to work on for the next few months
