There is really some nice stuff turning up here.

Craig T: Yes there is an Odyssey 680 in the box.



Randy: The lift-off conversion is pretty low tech.
The screw holes for the lid hinges are recessed slightly in the body.
I found some rubber plugs with a cone shaped end that fits into the screw hole recesses.
I attached the plugs to the lid hinges with sheet metal screws and a bit of trim adhesive.
When in place, the plugs ride in the screw hole recesses, and the original latch holds it all down. The fit is tight enough that there is no movement or rattling, but loose enough that everything just lifts off when you open the latch.

Had the M/C at the pedals without booster a few years ago, so there was need for relocating the reservoirs and I felt a lonely stock one is ugly. Later I went back to the booster and kept the reservoirs as they are nicer and better for bleeded by hand (or automotive bleeder)

Exactly - I think they are better for bleeding as well - where did you get them and how is your hose routing set up?

You mean setup before booster? Like this:



Reservoirs are from here (brand AP Racing), but there are others too. Maybe not that cheap to send to the US:

Nothing fancy but it's pretty clean. Only unique feature is that the tank is painted black instead of gray and the underside of the hood is finished, like the exterior.

Rob,

Where did you hide your fuse panel ?
That is one clean looking trunk area you have there and surely some heavy duty bracing

Cheers !
Phil

Hey Phil
My fuse panel is under the dashboard.
Itīs not easy to change a fuse but it looks very clean.
I like the naked look...

Wow those are some nice looking "frunks". I though mine was pretty clean, but damn these put mine to shame.

One question...how did you remove all the black goop around the strut top mounts? I'd like to get mine cleaned up here.

Wow Rob T. I'd love a 964 version of your frunk.

Naked 964 frunk below (with just a floormat coving the spare tire).
