The rear wheel well is mostly completed. I will be testing out access panel construction on the hood. Then I will make an access panel on the rear wheel well to change the rear tire. The same technique used on the hood will be used in the rear. I can still pick up the body by myself. It weighs around 80lbs now..

The plan is to fiberglass between the fasteners and then use a wooden frame to hold the shape and remove the fasteners. This will allow me to then fiberglass the inside to make it much simpler to attach then crawling in and trying to fiberglass under the hood. then we will be making access panels. Mike Arnold on his video shows how to make the panels. I am excited to try his method.

The beginnings of the hood. I still have a lot of sanding to go. But it is coming along.

Here is the top deck of the rear wheel well. it turned out pretty good we need to fiberglass the inside of the wheel well next.


So the main floor was used to make the sides and now it was time to cut out the floor to make the rear wheel well. This was the a bit messy but I did it outside and had the proper safety gear on (Mask, eye protection etc.).

Here is the 1200 cc motor! It is very large. I recently took off the alternator so I could remove the starter. The starter was just sitting there at a twisted angle it was not bolted to the intended mounts. Another reason to take the bike apart. Things that were amiss on the K1200 RS. I also hooked up a spring that was loose on the throttle return. Now I can figure out how to mount the engine to the frame.
