Speedy & The Spyder (A lightweight sporty build)
Posted by: @ben-franklin@scott-h I kinda like the light under the front lip of the hack fender, but I think you want to crank up the brightness to obnoxious levels to make it useful.Β I'm sure there is something on the Superbriteled.com site that would do it.
Yes, that needs more thought.Β Just playing with ideas to maximize form, while still having functionality.Β I may be changing the style of fender to match the bike.Β That would change the lighting situation front and rear.Β

Getting ready to take the stripped down tub to the upholsterer. Wanted one more mod before it goes.
Motorvation Spyders have the rear tonneau cover snaps fixed to the trunk lid. In order to open the trunk, the snaps need to be undone.
I'm making a plate that mounts just in front of the trunk for the rear snaps.
Just roughed in to get the tonneau cover made correctly. Once back from the upholstery shop the gaps will get filled, sanded, and sealed. The whole thing will get painted with the tub.
Made from Rubber Wood (used in kitchen cutting boards), and a piece of 1"x1"x1/16" aluminum angle. Attached to the trunk wall with screws and fender washers.Β
Fits tight to the trunk lid, which moves back as the trunk opens, so there is no binding.
These tubs were all hand made. Nothing is straight.Β With the aluminum angle for strength, it will make a nice "rain gutter" for water to drain off the sides of the tub.Β If, heaven forbid, the rig ends up sitting in the rain.Β

My Watsonian has a similar issue.Β
The canopy buttons to the boot lid.Β Β
There more wear than needed around those studs.
Needs a metal frame somehow.
The solution may come to me in passing one day.Β
Wrapped and ready to go to the Upholsterer.
tied the tub to a couple of furniture dollies to make it easy for her to roll around in the garage. She has limited room to work, so hoping this makes it easier.
Pretty excited about this.
