i'm thinking his turn signals are in a box in the garage and i'll bet dollars to donuts that on the left side of the bike theres a sidemount plate and taillight setup.

Excellent workmanship, I like it. Why in the world would you get rid of the FI in favor of a carb?

P.S. Where did you hide the exhaust hanger, or is there one?

The carb was a personal preference, I prefer the look of the carb. and its simplicity on this bike. Im familiar with tuning both carbs and F.I. setups so that really didn't weigh in on my decision.

The exhaust tubes attach to one of the factory studs on the upper rear part of the trans. - its hard to see from the top or side

Mmmmm donuts, your exactly right on the signals and taillight

by far the nicest one i have seen! by far!!! you got a carb on there! how the hell did you rock that?

Thanks, Its a super E kit, I just had to weld up the MAP sensor hole in the S&S intake and make some changes to the tank. Im using the ThunderHeart stand alone ign system that uses only the crank sensor. The preformance picked up a little already and I havent dialed it in yet so Im stoked so far. Im going to use a wide band with a data logger and tune it on the street for now.

alright bro this is fukin awesome... i was totally looking forward to getting the rocket bobs setup but after seeing this i personally like the way it looks even better..if i might ask you what fender is that and where did u get those brass wing nuts

Thanks, the fender is from Led Sled, it closely resembles a 1936 Ford spare tire cover and the wingnuts are from McMaster-Carr.

Notice you've moved your shock mounts forward on the swingarm. Handling improved?

I did it for aesthetic reasons, but with a little more preload on the spring it rides the same as before

Here are some pics of the rear fender mounts, I used the passenger peg mounts on the swingarm for the front and welded tabs for the back.

[pics deleted from quote - see previous page for pics]

Thanks for the pics man. I see it.
