Default Low Bob Rider S Conversion

What happens when a low rider s slams into a fat bob…..This! Just test fit for now until slight paint and front seat section mods are complete along with led mini lighting to be added. Just gotta figure out where to put the license plate since I like my swingarm bag where it is.

Not any time soon, but who knows. Besides that would give it away instantly, while it currently leaves people scratching wondering what the hell just passed them. Lol!

Nicely done! It’s a good look imo, an aggressive look.


I noticed a small vertical line on your back tire. Not sure what it is but thought I’d point it out in case it’s a cut or defect of some kind.

so, this could not make me any happier to see...

i plan to convert my S into a modern NIGHT TRAIN if you will...i am laying out my rear fender to cut it down, so a plate and light relocation is in order. i will be lowering my rear quite a bit...many attempts in paint playing with the look.

i looked into this rear fender, looks like struts, fender and seat were needed ?
i have a badlander seat i was planning on modifying to lay the way i want.

so, please any and all info is welcome...under seat pics, what all was needed, any problems...other than seat fitment, i cannot really think of any real issues...wiring relocation for lights ?
