Lest you think Hartmut is the only one working to make the project go, here is some work that Max is doing. I'll drop over and take a few pictures of progress in the next few days. One of us spent Memorial Day weekend in Denver building a new lakester front axle.
Here's a picture of the dash with the two additional switches. First gear and data switches. Had a real productive day today. A total of four people working on the bike and the wife bringing sustenance. My daughter Kim captured one of her co-workers and spent the better part of yesterday and all day today building the new bracketry for holding the top section and lower section of the rear body. Looks real good and quite professional. Hired my helper Elio for the day. He and I finished the mounting of the push bar, straightened the right hand mounting band of the body, did some clean up on the adjusters for the rear wheel axle, painted adjusters, greased, and made them ready for another week on the salt.
The water switch, master switch, and fire bottle pull cables, (the ones that have to be externally accessible) have all been moved back to the very end of the tail section. The push tube that shows provided location points for these items. The reason for these changes is to eliminate a six inch hole in back of the injector intake on the outer skin. The liner will have an air scoop built into the skin, facing forward, not unlike a Formula 1 car, only flatter.
