Arctic, thats a great idea but I don't have the time right now. The brakes are going to be a pain. I need a new master cylinder and the booster has to come out and be rebuilt again since it has fluid in it from the MC. I just going to have to be real careful getting it home. The towing service is bringing a different trailer next time so it can be wenched up and loaded much easier.

Keith,

Are there any blacksmiths near you? Either that or see if you can find a local horseshoer (furrier?) lots of times those guys do some blacksmithing and might be able to fab up that bell mount.
It seems like one of our members here is a blacksmith. Was it....Stephen?...Stephen67?...something like that?
Dang my memory isn't the best in the world

Yup, it's Stephen67 with the big red F600 (?) that has been shortened.

I bet he'll be able to replicate the mount.

No problem Rob,

Bobby, The metal shop said they could do it no problem and I have always been satisfied with their price and work.

Are you going to undercoat the inside of the fenders, inner fenders and the front (visible) section of the frame rails when you get it back?
