After many hours of finalizing the bodywork repairs to Project 13, I spent the afternoon fitting the pieces to one another. One would hope this wouldn't take half a day, but it did.
The only real issue is that the reupholstered seat was given a little extra padding which resulted in the passenger seat cowl being a snug fit. I'll leave everything in place for a few days in hopes that all the plastic will acclimate to its new reality, but overall everything is fitting nicely.

Invariably, the most difficult point to refit is the mid-fairing's middle frame mount. In this case, the right side required such extensive reconstruction that I'm able to simply mark the contact point and drill it out — a perfect fit.
On the left side, much tweaking of the various mounting points was required to line up this mount, as it's not adjustable.
The next step is to give everything a final inspection, fine tune any Bondo repairs, clean everything and get it all off to the hydrographic shop for film dipping.
While that's happening I can finish up lots of details — wiring, heated grips, shock install, GPS mount, brake lines.......Stay tuned.
