Right on, I lived in Greenpoint for awhile, maybe about 5 years. Have some friends still building and riding bikes out there, my friends still have a co op type garage space in GP

I have my gas tank mounted the same way, but I used stock rubber isolators beneath it instead of leather washers. Gives a bit more cushion and lifts the tank up another 5/8" so I can run wiring under it. Might be something you'd like too. Nice work so far. I like the powder coat.

I wonder if we know any of the same people.

Interesting. I drilled a couple holes along the backbone to run wiring internally, but I havent gotten into it yet. I was originally thinking of trying to do something like youre describing. Ill hit you up for sure if I end up going that route. Thanks, Ryan

Started reassembly. Spent all my lunch money on fasteners.

Getting closer on the shaved lowers.

The lowers look decent for hand tools. Mother's mag and aluminum will give a nice polish if you don't have something already. What's that voltage regulator you've got on there?

Thanks! I want a brushed look. The regulator is stock.
