Rocket Glide

[ve1rfb]

Howdy all... After collecting parts and pieces, tinkering and LOTS of cussing , the Rocket Glide had its test flight on Saturday!!!!! I'm still waiting on the stereo adapter plate to install the deck, and I'm getting a 13" windshield, the 9" put too much wind in my face/eyes.

Also, we didn't get the bracket straight, so I'll be "shimming" out the left hand side of the fairing with a couple of washers. Also, from the manufacturer, the headlights are wired backwards... Hi is low, and low is hi.
I installed a volt meter, a clock, and a master switch in the guage holes.

Enjoy the pictures, and more WILL come when completed!

Looks good but larger saddle bags would be nice. Are you going to color match painting the fairing?

The paint is "brilliant black pearl". **** near identical to the black on the bike . Later I'll get the red and do the lower half .

The black is close, and I'll be doing the red later in the season when funds allow .

I've got a trunk I may do up later this year as well, and the bags will have to wait as well
