Yeah they were specially converted to keep the back end as much to the original as possible. It was an expensive job, so I'm expecting they are weather proof. The plan was that I could still get access to the running gear for cleaning and maintenance. These are all question I'll answer when I get my hands on her, but if I can use any of the space wisely I will. Here is another picture for you, it shows new foot plates and straps to hold my feet in place. The silver cylinder is the Klicktronic gear change, which I operate by a switch on the left handlebar.
