Fog light dilemma

Image
 So here is a sneak peak at the future.  Some amber fog lights I'll be mounting near the end of the build.  There are three possible locations.  Vote for your favorite in the comments and tell me why :) Location #1 is on a tab just behind the front cross member Location #2 is on a tab just ahead of the front cross member Location #3 is directly on top of the frame rail just behind the front cross member So what do you think?

The front suspension starts going together

 So today I was planning to bend the fish plates for the frame but had a blow out in one of my tank valves so I have to get a new one before I can do that.  Instead I ended up mocking up the front suspension and while it looks cool there is a problem. It isn't obvious from this picture but in the next it becomes apparent The end of the radius rod aligns under the frame rail instead of beside it which depending on suspension movement may cause interference and  will at the very least not look right I think the solution will be to disassemble the front end and bend the top and bottom tabs outward slightly to correct the alignment.  Can't bend the whole tab or the spring perches won't reach any more

The GO pedal

 There will be more on this later but there is my gas pedal to be.    Such a cool drum pedal!  I love what is says on the toe "SPEED KING"
