Chapter IV: A New Build...

[Saving Tempest]

Rocket Ray #3 got installed on Rosa a couple days ago, I plan to get three more to cover the entire fleet.

I've got to fix up some horns, it's obvious from looking at Germaine behind here and the wires came off the button on Rosa's.

 

[Saving Tempest]

Rosa is fast and all, but I still can't keep the seat post up, I replaced the bolt with a correct carriage bolt and a new nut and that fixed nothing. If it swivels, it will drop again.

 

[Saving Tempest]

I got the AS seatpost clamp to use on Rosa from @A.S.BOLTNUT today, he send me a noisy little bonus!

Thank you, Rafael!

 

[Saving Tempest]

Since I borrowed the front basket for Darla I'll have to get another like it next month.

[Saving Tempest]

Not yet! I have to get another front basket and work some more. I just got up from a cat nap...everyone says I should be going to bed and I just woke an hour ago, was watching TV in the bedroom with Socks then fed her good.

 

[Saving Tempest]

I just got done (yeah, at 3:30 am) installing the Rocket Ray (I swiped the one it had to put on Darla and now it gets a new one) and installing the AS bolt seat post collar @A.S.BOLTNUT sold me and that should keep the seat up now.

I'm sure the cat will be happy with me now

The horn wires broke at the button so I gotta fix that later and I cleared the handlebars off but for the light.

That will be four of six on the road later today when I get Darla back.

I've figured out how to save the tank that got printing on it after I had wrapped it for so long...

I wrapped a cracker box completely with 2" packing tape to use as a stand.

I used painter's tape to cover the edge at the back of the decal area and covered it with zipper bags, used more painter's tape and then wrapped over that with the 2" tape...

I hope to spray some paint in a small bowl and use a small foam brush to dob around more and get rid of most of the mess, then repeat on the other half.

The temperatures are starting to drop below good spraying requirements so time is of the essence to get it done this month.

 

[Saving Tempest]

Removed that and masked off the decal area, gave it a spray around the sides and edges, hopefully that will do it and I can get the other half fixed.
