Floorboard

 

The sixties pumped out some good music. The Seekers also did Georgie Girl, neither one are normally played on the classic rock station I listen to. If I had my own radio station they'd get some air play.

Busy day of doing nothing yesterday. A trip to the massage parlor in the late morning, doctor's office after that, a bit of household chores, and then out to the shop to top off the day.

Pattern for the floorboard - simple enough design. Two bends on a 45-deg. angle and a hole for the shifter. The pattern I made for the boot and riser is 6" but it looks like 3" would be all I need. Instead of the square to round transition, I'm thinking maybe make the front part round and then half-way back make the sides straight but taper from the 3" height down to nothing on a 45-deg angle. That would give me a flat surface to mount my ignition switch - engine turn that surface, of course. As the dash is laid out currently the tach is mounted in the middle, but if I move the switch, I could move the tach over so it would be easier to read.

I need to make at least one more support under the floorboard and I'll put some reinforcing beads in it.

I'm going to try to continue working back and forth between the bike and the car. As soon as I get the forks cleaned up it won't take long to finish the bike. Then move it out and the BSA in.
