It's been a few weeks and springtime is in the air. Any progress you want to share?

I know I can cut, spread, shorten and bend the frame to fit, but I'm afraid the cost would be too much for a custom cover.
And yes, that's as clean as the workbench gets.. Smile

I mounted the side mirrors low I see a lot of them higher but they seemed to be right in your view

I mounted my side mirrors low also, but I wish I had put them higher. I can't see over the rear fenders, but they do work well for changing lanes. But if I had mounted them higher, I'd probably complain they are in the way looking forward. I just like to complain. I think the low looks better, aesthetically.

Are you legal yet?
