For the rear brake line, a hole is made near the master cylinder with the line jumping to the left side through the frame cross section and back to the rear brake.

Because the bike will have no turn signals, only a headlight and my new L.E.D side mount tag with a run/brake light (picture of the 1st prototype), the electrical system is quite simple.

The ignition/kill switch will be on the left side incorporated in a coil bracket, and the bike will be started with a switch from Cycle Engineering installed directly on the starter.

It’s almost time to have the frame molded and prepared for paint. I review the frame in detail, writing all instructions directly on the frame: welds to be grinded, sections to be reworked with filler, shapes to be molded, etc…

For the first time in eight weeks, Expresso is going to leave the shop for a one-week beauty treatment.
