It's Electric ... Box

Decided to run a ballistic evo2 battery and hide all the electrics in front of the motor. 

There it is nice and compact, and looks like a skidplate. 

Not so 'vintage' wires

I wanted the classic cloth wrapped wires, but didn't want to foot the bill for them. So I wrapped mine with cheepo shoe laces. 

We are in

After a hell of a time cleaning, I decided the engine had to be mounted. 

Clean clean clean

To this. After 5 or so hours. 

No change in light source or exposure. That's a hell of a difference.

Get it tight, get it right

Started this day early, and got to work quick. Hopped over to harbor freight and picked up a cheap-o gear puller, did a bit of grinding to make it fit, and popped this sucker off. The alternator is now ready for installation.

After that and another cup of coffee, (it was an early morning, normally at this point I wouldn't even be at work yet). I started on making this roller look like something more than a frame with wheels. New stainless steel bolts for everyone! 

Umm it looks pretty tight without the sissy bar. But with it, oh man. It's a whole new leauge. 

Stacked tail lights, not for the faint of heart. Amber running on top, and red brake on bottom. I may switch that up and mount the plate right below it.

We rollin

We have a roller fellas. After a short while of little progress, we can now roll this guy down a hill. 

I also started making the remote master cylinder that will be neatly tucked under the triple tree. It needs some fine tuning. But it's close. (Shown before legs were installed)
