I got far more irritated on this small fab project then probably anything else to date. Something about having a crappy day, then going to work on the bike to unwind only to break the only 5/8 drill bit I have, amongst a slew of other irritating setbacks....on to the update.
Having the tabs welded in place, I set up the holes for drilling and after a pilot hole bored out the hole for the indicators
To clean up the excess tabs, I places the indicators in and measured how much excess I wanted.
Then used a band saw to remove that excess and a washer to get the right circumference
And last, the trusty old grinder to round off the tabs and a hand file will finish it off.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of a guy named Bruce at the courthouse I have have new tabs on the bike. The only thing left to make the VFR roadworthy is a new battery and wiring in the new indicators.
Thanks for tuning in (and feel free to leave comments!)
