Red: Day Off Jobs

Day Off garage time.

Added the new foot pegs, which at first I thought were another non-S90 version, but I think maybe they're ok.  Will need to test with pedals in place to be 100% sure, though.

Then the first attempt at bondo on the tank.  Found it very hard to apply in a smooth manner.  As you tried to smooth it out with the plastic applicator, you end up moving more of the bondo around then you really want to.  Definitely takes practice and patience.

Let it dry then did the first sand down.  This went pretty well, though I soon realized that I'd left some of the bondo too thin in some parts, which resulted in some deep grooves that I will need to add another layer to eventually.

But with 80 grit, it was just a matter of shaping it until it matched the contour.  Pretty straight-forward.

Also mounted the red badges to the white temp tank using the 3d printed mounts.

Added the original speedo back, too, now that it's fixed.
