I'm not entirely useless right now, it would seem.
Machine shop bent the edges of my "CAD" radiator shroud so all I have to do is bend up some 3/4" wide strips to weld onto the sides. The plan is to find some threaded aluminum bosses (or some 1/2" aluminum rod to drill and tap) to weld to the end tanks to mount the shroud to.
The shifter relocation from Sikky arrived yesterday as well. It's a pretty cool piece of engineering & machining. That was the last piece I needed to be able to install the drivetrain.
