Front Subframe Modifications

The front subframe needed (and still needs) substantial modifications - first to clear the lower bars, then to accomodate the VTR1000 guages, then for the SP1 lower triple clamps, then for some kind of mirror mounting, and finally to accomodate alternative wiring harness routing.

So far I've got the guage and headlight mounts finished. The mirror and turn signal braces are next, but I'll be doing those in place on the bike rather than jigging them up for an external welder, so I expect it to be an easier task.
