Ok, finally got a little more done yesterday. I made some bag plates for the front, although they aren't done yet. I used 1/4" plate punched with 9/16" holes then welded to 5" x 3/16" wall tubing. Easy to make.
I finished welding my C-notch in.
I started to lay the rear bags out with my bag brackets I had designed, then had them waterjetted they are also going to be used as new shock relocators ( dual purpose ) I wanted to bring the lower shock mounts in a couple inches. I think the quality of the ride would improve if I have the rear shocks more vertical than the way the factory set them up
Hope to start on the top front bag plates in a couple days. Then to do the fuel lines, brake lines, & etc. etc.
