P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

I think you better start adding on to the barn

Nah just need to throw some crap away. Like bike parts for a race bike I haven't owned in several years lol. I tend to hoard when it comes to spare parts. Anybody got a CBR900RR? I can hook you up lol

I found time bout a week ago to play with them for a few minutes. I tried it bringing the tubing down where the footwell is and got frustrated trying to find the correct angles. I think I'll just come straight across that area which will make it alot easier on me plus only require 2 pieces of tubing. If someone wants a tube in that area, I'll just add a notched piece and weld it. Not sure when I'll get a chance to get back on it though. Tons of foster appts til Thurs and we leaving for some beach therapy early Fri morning. I apologize for the delay. Not enough hours in the day.

Hey Delton checkout www.bend-tech.com they had some good software for bending tubing It will really help you on where to put your bends not sure what the prices are now but I have had mine for a few years now it works good but I still cant use it to what it can do. check it out it might be something you can use

Ive been having trouble with moisture and connectors last few months. Finally got around to addressing it. After deeper water crossings, washing, or heavy rain, it'd go into limp and show 8-1 code (poor connection with tps). So I broke out the dielectric grease and took care of it. I'm almost done but had a chore to run. All I lack is connectors under seat, coils, and sparkplugs.

Made a little extra protection for the front today. Also have a great platform to make a removable front rack in the future. I think it came out pretty good. @Yankee provided the inspiration for them with his lol.

I've been putting off installing nutserts for my skid plates but I guess it's finally time. Those self tappers rust. Also drawing up designs for sliders. Ole aluminum skid plate is still in awesome shape. No deformity at all which surprised even me.

Skid plate upgrade is complete. Went from self tapping to 5/16 button head bolts. Alot stronger.

Nice work on the nutserts.

Thanks. Don't really care for the install but they are alot more secure than those screws. Hopefully one less thing to worry about.

I agree they can be a pain but the fit of the parts installed in them is hard to beat.
