Looks great....is there a reason you skipped the rubber strip under the windshield?


It actually not installed yet. If you notice there is no gas flap in the hood, so I am going to remove the windshield and hood again to install it before final bolt down. Might get around to it today hopefully!

Was able to install the gas cap. I have one of the flip lid types and the tolerances down to my tank are pretty tight so I measured quite a few times and got it perfect. Was kind of nerve wracking cutting a hole in the middle of the hood!

Got the bumper on, windshield properly mounted and wiring all done. Having a bit of a rubbing issue on the rear wheels so I need a small spacer, but coming along!
