Rickati Update

























I started the new year off on the right foot by going over to school and tacking the side plates for the swingarm on to the Rickati frame. I milled a couple of slots in them 1/8" deep to both lighten them and to make them look a little cooler. I was hoping to get the tubing that connects the plates to the seat rail fabbed and tacked on as well but I got a late start and I didn't want to miss the Winter Classic. It was a good hockey game and Boston came through for the win in overtime. The next step will be the tubing and then I need to make a battery box, coil mount, steering stop, and figure out how to hook up the rear brake. As always, plenty to do but it's a good start to the new year.
