front fork peg/lamp ( brackets )

[ekap1200]

Hello from wind swept and rainy N.J. Seems there is never enough time , but here is a go at these brackets I had been trying to get to for a few years... Both blanks have been made and formed, this right side one is close to being finished and I hope to get both done tomorrow. Along with other items I need to get done and out the door. I'm almost hoping for a rain day to keep me in the shop....I have allot of finish work to be done..

SANDING AND POLISHING, seems thats all I did yesterday. But thanks to DocSnowFox who inspired me to continue with this project , here they are. I had thought it would be an easy task , as I had a proto-type of one from another member. But it did not fit to my standards. Mine are made from stainless steel/ mirror polished to a #8 finish and edge smoothed and polished. It is 1/8 in thickness and require's one to replace the caliper bolts with ones at an extra 3mm longer.
I am just about out of all items that I had in house. I do have several sockets both for the 1200 and 1700 . one set of bag/cowl trim and an unfinished set of front vents.
Hope ya'll enjoy the pics.

Wow, those sure are purty! I'm going to have to shine up Gertrude's brightwork a lot before something that pretty and shiny can go on her! Speaking of which, what do you guys recommend for cleaning up aluminum like the forks and the clutch cover? I was thinking Brillo pads.

Hi , Denny, I think you will be a month of Sundays with a brillo-pad.... Ya got get the clear coat off first.... Wait until you decide to do the fork springs that you bought.

I was a busy man yesterday and today for just a few hr.s . I have finished all that needed to be done. Even items on the " Hunny DO list....

I will post some more pics.

Ah, yes, that's right, I have a friend with serious power tools... What's next weekend look like for you? Oh, by the way, when/where do you guys meet up for the Monday night rides?

Next weekend I need one day for painting, and I can do your front end the other. Pic a day.....
As for Mondays rides, 42 to 55 get off at 40 east towards Malaga. At the traffic light with 2 diners, you will see a Wawa. ride begins 6:30 to 6:45
