Moin,
You are doing a real good job. The dash board looks amazing. The gauges are extraordinary stuff.

kind regards from the other side of the Dümmer lake.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. It is not finished, in next week I will make a pink paste final polishing.
I want to install also four control lights

Regards for the other shore, andy

Hi

I made a new battery mount

Intersting, nice side panels. But wouldn't it be more pleasing to the eye, if the Battery was tilted the other way, following the edge of the side panel? You could also fully enclose it with an additional piece of bent Aluminium in the front, making a perfecttransition to the lids/panels.

Thank you, you're right. I moved it 3 cm back, I can not do more because there is a tire. Does it look better now?

Hmmm, it still seems a little odd. Isn't there enough space beneath the seat? Maybe if you tilt it a little?

[Endert]

Why did you choose such a big battery? A smaler one would be much easier to hide!?

BTW, i like the side panels a lot.

Keep going.

I'd suspect the electric starter as a reason
As these tend to fail and the kick starter is very easy to use, I'd get rid of that anyway, making the use of a smaller battery possible.
Plus it ads to reducing the weight!
But that is just my personal opinion.

I can not dismount the e starter, I have a unwell leg, I can not kick.
The panels come from the Moto Guzzi V7.
I've changed a bit, better?
