The taillight bracket.

I've started tracing out the outline and basic idea for Gianluca's taillight and license plate holder. It's a two-part process, first cutting it out and shaping it, then fitting it to the motorcycle, which is all about finding the right spot for it, so proportions look, if not harmonious, at least not bizarre.

And here's a first look at the Norton's new mudguards, in the vault.

Next week, we'll all get back to our garages, to continue wrenching on our motorcycles. We already have a couple of short-range destinations that will make for some nice rides soon. A sunny winter day, not too far to ride, a good lunch and a fireplace awaiting... it's good stuff.
