    I'd be happy to post it on WERA for you. Just say the word.

    Is it on FB Marketplace as well?

    Going to follow through with track body install. Hope to finish by end of the month.

    Alright, making headway! Fitting the bodywork is a little “fiddly” but should get it tied down in the next week or two.

    Yeah, mounting track bodywork always involves a bit of trial & error to get everything lined up & fitting how you want it.

    You definitely did yourself a favor when you went with Armour Bodies, though. In my experience they're one of the LEAST troublesome brands to fit.

    Should I leave it in Sunapee or bring it down to Boston?

    Being out-of-the-way versus Boston traffic.

    I always sold bikes faster and for more money in Boston vs Manchester, granted this was over 10 years ago when I was flipping bikes with a buddy.

    If you think it'll help any, I can make time Weds afternoon to pick it up in Sunapee and bring it to NHMS for this upcoming 102nd Loudon Classic weekend...?

    Thanks, not sure I’ll have it finished this week, selling the van is taking up a lot of time.

    Anyone install a Armour body?

    Don’t want to cut this plastic panel away, but it seems like the back part interferes.

    Re: Getting rid of a “project” bike GIXXAH!

    Two things.

    1. The Armour Bodies kit is REALLY nice. Holes line right up, though most have to be drilled out a bit.

    2. Had some “doh!” Questions about locating the Dzus fasteners. Called up WoodCraft, they picked up the phone on second ring, and answered my questions.

    This thing will be really nice, but nonetheless don’t think I’ll be doing any more track days.

    One annoyance: the Dzus fastener kit did not come with retaining washers. They’re 8 cents each….

    I've moved to rural Maine. Finding it difficult to sell (or buy) anything even remotely niche. In this way I kind of miss being around people. In only this way.

    I am quite confident you'd have an easier time moving this in Boston than Sunapee.
