My Ulster special is nearly ready to go on the road after 10 years+. I have spent more time on it in the last week than in the last year.
As I cannot get a new steering wheel or the old one coated I rubbed down the arms and semi-polished the aluminium and lacquered it to get quite a nice finish, I have ordered a plain black cover for it.
I have also upholstered it using the kit from Tony Betts. Fitted a bonnet strat and rear cover strap using old belts as I cannot order the proper leather straps.
Fitted the cycle wings.
Tightened up lots of bolts I had left lose until ready to roll.
Wired in a USB charging socket with integrated voltage display so you can see how many volts your battery is at (heresy in some circles I am sure).
Lots of other minor bits and bobs.
