    Got out to the garage this afternoon and tied up all the loose ends. Threw some fuel in it (no leaks, woo hoo!), fired it up to get the idle set and cure the exhaust paint, and took some pics.

    LMK if you want a headlight guard, that puppy looks to be about a 600$ headlight....

    Thank you. I think they were off a KFX 400? I got them used off FB Marketplace. The headlight is original and the shell is a "shep special"

    Just have to make some time to drop the front end out and put them on before riding weather gets here.

    Well went to put the fork boots on today and took a couple steps backward . . .

    Broke one of the right hand side lower triple clamp bolts off trying to remove it. Had about a 1/2 inch exposed on the back side so I figured it would be the easiest to bring it out the back side. Neither double nutting it or vise grips worked (sprayed it with PB blaster right after it broke), so I recruited my father in law and his torches. Well it came out but it split the triple clamp on it's way out

    So now my father in law is going to take it to a shop that can weld aluminum and get it repaired.

    I'll add a picture of how I made my nerfs fit.

    I chopped off those front aluminum flats and made a support mount that uses the front motor mounts and slides thru the aluminum, much stronger that way...

    Did you use a stainless steel bolt by any chance?
    It sucks to get old

    I don't think so, pretty sure it's the OE Honda bolt . . .

    Looks nice jason, you got one of the last headlight shells..... The shell mold decided that it was done....it split in two where it wasn't supposed to last night. So after i'd say 50ish shells it did an ok job. Swinehart (rip) told me in the beginning of this hobby that shelf life takes its tole on molds and that each part made in that mold takes a little life out of it. I was hoping for atleast a couple more batches but.........
    Ya its not been a good day. Maybe i'll bury the mold outback in a shallow grave.....
