I spent yesterday doing the other attachment arms between the pannier racks and the bike frame. You can see them in this picture...
Within the last few days I have also applied the Honda decals to the tank and put on a few coats of protective clear coat. So the tank is basically done.
I have also been working out the pannier-to-rack attachment system. I will be using lockable draw latches, McMaster Carr part number 1406A57. The goal is for them to be super easy to use, easy on and off, and lockable to the bike.
