Been working on the tank rise. It's suppose to expose the top of the motor more and give it a bit of a chopper look.

Most guys just use flat powdered steel plates. But that seems lame... so I picked up these bottle openers.


This is the stock setup. The plastic under the tank holds all the wiring and just eats up that space.




Ditch the plastic garb & expose the wiring situation



Mock up the "brackets"


After a trip to the hardware store



Wire loom to cover those wires, and zip tie them together a bit.


Finish up holding the wires above the backbone where they now go.


The wanted space


Close up. The bottle openers work well for holding the wiring in place.



Finally done



I picked up some of the powder tonight that I need to find time to mount up.
