Imagine you just put together a completely ride worthy vehicle but you made a list of requirements because you LOVE lists…so instead of riding it around…you keep working…yep…that’s what’s happening…
Fitting the blinkers in the front is pretty easy the hard part is remembering what wire goes where…
Then some holes drilled into the tail light assembly get things fitted nice and snug.
(I couldn’t find a build picture of this so here is a current one.)
Then some gauges
Next it is time to hang the rear fender (I forgot to take mock-up pictures…I get carried away when I’m working). I had another pannier rack floating around the garage and it needed to be shortened up to put the fender in the spot I wanted. I made a hanger for the front of the fender with some strip steel. This is held in place with a bolt and some spacers.
I cut up the existing seat mounts so they would better fit on the TSM frame and then slapped on a tank. It’s time to gas this up and go for a ride!
>>>>fast forward to the future>>>>
The initial rear fender mount idea didn’t work and I had to add a hanger to the back (under the tail light) to keep the fender in place. You can see it in the taillight picture above and below is the video loop of putting it on. This happened a while after the moped was done but I should of done it right at the start.
