Progressive evolution
And so it began
Went from wide to mid glide trees.
Ditched the massive stock breather.
Eyebrow headlight from an ironhead.
With a set of trick Vulcan engineerings axles a set of old mags went on.
Beginning brake upgrades
Had these so when I found out they could be adapted on they went.
Lopped off about a foot from the already gutted cans. Also in this shot lifted up in the rear with 13 shocks.
Homemade 2 into 1
How it was for about a year.
Decided to try out this blue to decide if I liked it
Still wasnt feeling the vibe yet
Thats better!
Digging the blue I committed.
Ive been lurking here since I bought the bike and read all the threads about night train wheel swaps. How in depth it can be.. since I had already bought the Vulcan axle I figured Id need all new spacers at most. Two new ones later, it bolted up like factory. Aside from the phaff getting rotor on caliper kinda on wheel part🤣
Just one thing, maybe you should consider supporting the throttle body with a bracket, connected to the breather bolts in the heads. I think you might be putting some load on the mounts and seals where intake meats the heads, and leaks might develop.

Starting to come together but wasnt enough
YouTube taught me that geezer engineering made trees to fit my old gsxr front end. If anyone is on the fence about ordering a set dont be! They fit the frame better than stock and the legs slid in better than they did the Suzuki trees.
Pretty crap pics but first day riding after finishing up.
