It might be the light, but it don't look like you flattened out the tank flange where it interfaces with the frame. Don't forget the little plastic inserts that go in the down tubes.

they came pre bent interestingly enough. I guess I should say all but the driver's side rear was, and that's the one you're probably seeing. It didn't interfere, so I didn't worry about it. And yeah, those inserts are in, thanks.

Brake reservoirs are in and connected. I bought some sheet metal off of Amazon as a back plate for them. Pieces were cheap enough but well made: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8NLBZLZ...roduct_details. I gnarled up the footbox front panel drilling the upper hole for the brake line fittings. But the fitting is in, just a little crooked.

One question, the banjo fittings for the front brakes have these crush washers to put in, but they also had some brass or copper washers already on the brake cylinders. I'm thinking I keep the the two washers on the cylinder, plus the crush washers. Anyone know?

anybody had a cracked master cylinder before? Going to see if Willwood will help me out, discovered while bleeding them for the first time.

Haven't posted in a while, I've been working on a lot of little projects...and it's been cold and nasty out. Anyways, I'm just about done routing the fuel lines. I went with braided aluminum soft lines, which I don't know how I feel about now that I am trying to bend them up into the engine compartment, I'm afraid I'm going to kink them.

If not obvious from the previous, I've also started on the wiring. I'm putting in a speaker and a bluetooth enabled amplifier, I've managed to wire that up to the front, along with seat heaters. I'm just waiting to get the engine in before I finish wiring it to the battery (Breeze battery box already installed).

I've also started on the dash and center console. I'm going with a wood finish. I've got the veneer glued on and stained. For the console I have holes for cup holders and the seat heater switches. I plan to use the pour on finish this weekend. So far things seem to be working well, we'll see what the final finish looks like. I'll probably need to find some sort of trim for the center console, maybe a stainless steel lip.

Spent the weekend wrapping up a couple of loose ends. Not a lot to show for it, but it felt good to get them done. I wrapped up the fuel system, I have delivery from tank all the way to regulator. I went back and lubricated the o-rings in the fuel tank, too many people said I needed to. And I fixed the fuel tank strap bolt, which was missing its washer. Then I cleaned my shop up. Ready for the next project.
