Well, a few things....
First, new plastics came in. Somehow, I got two sets. I ordered one, and two boxes showed up. Second box showed up about an hour after the first. Had to go back and check that I didn't order two accidentally. Oh well, nothing better than free extras.
Second, I think the original exhaust is actually broken. The sleeve that goes around the pipe where the exhaust bolts is no longer there. I think that explains why the exhaust was flopping around, even though the exhaust bolts were tight. Ordered a factory exhaust, since I can't one of the universal ones that's shaped close enough to the original.
Third... Brakes are a no go. Again, my fault for not measuring first. The original fork bolt spacing is 45mm. The new fork is 43mm. I made an order for a brake kit on aliexpress. One of the "radial" mount brakes. Not sure if it's gonna make a difference, but I'm really just hoping it fits in the wheel, unlike my other 4 pot caliper. I have looked for other brakes with the correct spacing, but they are M6 bolts. M6 bolts with M8 holes do not a safe feeling system make.
So, I'm giving up on having this ready by the weekend. Now just to sit back and wait on parts to show up. Good thing is I know what to do next time around. Lol. I feel like I should have just done this to my Apollo z20 to begin with. Hopefully this helps out other people deciding to make a conversion. Honestly, I should have just went with better forks. Particularly something that came with brakes installed already. But, other than the few frustrations, it's been a fun build so far, even though I've been doing a lot of complaining. lol.
