Have spent some time over the break mounting up a few things.  First, the radiator, from a KTM450 quad.  A bit overkill, and a tad wide, but cheaper than custom, and it had the water inlet and outlets on the same side as the husky engine.

I was able to fabricate some rad mounts, and the engine mounts do double duty as radiator mounts as well... looks somewhat stock!

I was able to determine the position of the rad by securing it in the top mount, and then removing the tops of the forks and collapsing the sliders completely, ensuring I had "just enough" clearance under full braking.

I also got some spacers made up for the shock lower mount...

And made some rearset plates out of the alloy plate I got. There will be some more work done to the plates themselves, and different pegs and shifters will be utilized.

And because the weather is decent, and there is nothing else to do right now, I've done some paintwork.  Using a simple latex-based rattlecan from Canadian Tire, only because the "Danube Blue" apes the Gulf Oil blue of the Lemans cars of the early 70s, with of course a coat of clear overtop.  OK stuff to work with, and less toxic, but being water-based, I don't leave much time between finishing the color and adding the clear to seal it up.

Tank, with the first coat of clear.  Will add a Gulf decal, and then put on a second, thicker coat.
