After all parts have been stripped and disassembled, the frame and tank can be painted. I chose for the body panels, the tank and seat fairing, a semi-gloss pearl white. Though not a stock color, for Honda at the time, it created a bold contrast between what interacts with the rider vs the mechanical.
The arching frame of the Honda provided ample space to keep the drive assembly. The frame components are hung from this center spine, making controller access and part swapping easy.
After the internal assembly has been tested, the wiring will need organization. The assembly was then shrouded on both sides with polycarbonate panels. These panels would slide onto the threaded rod that organized the internal frame.
