Looks good, like a deluxe was your donor.

Picked up a seat here on the forum. ( Thank you!). It seems to work perfect with my current theme. Haven't decided if I'm putting the seat rail on or removing the honches from seat. I have to noodle that one for a few.

Lowered the *** end 1 1/2 inches and finished up a bracket I made to mount my swing arm saddlebag that I had to move since the addition of the duals.

Turned out pretty decent. Doesn't move, the bike's natural vibration doesn't seem to bother it at all. Even though it's a tight fit, it clears the swing arm just fine. Now I can buy more packs of smokes than just what fits in my pockets.

Didn't get any pics of the welding but I did snap a pic right before, during the mock up.

Cool, kind of similar-ish to the Rocker saddlebag support system
that I'm using (powdercoated black).

Congratulations on a well done scoot! She not only glistens, but reflects a thought process going into it. Glad to see the saddle fits into it so well - now I understand your quandary. Seriously, around these parts that thing would turn heads.

Ordered my Flying Apes today. Went 14" and will wait to fit it before deciding on cable lengths. Can't wait! Don't b'lieve she'll ever look like yours tho...

Sold this one last year; had a lot of fun building it. It's got the rail, if that helps.

Changed out the shift levers and added the front, rear and swing arm bolt covers, and removed the rear turn signals and in place put the alloy art rear signals on. Now does anyone know how to program the bike so it doesn't flash fast on the dash?

​​​​​​I did the pinstripe to compliment your seat! The match is dead on I thought for sure I would have to redo it. Came out beautiful. Now if it would just stop raining so I could go show it off.....
