The only look I am after is individuality, and I am really not too concerned with that.

do you know what the seat height is now? Looks like you got it down some. Great idea to use off the shelf V-rod parts to make it happin. That was my first question, where the hell did he get that belt, ha. Thanks for sharing your project.

I think it's cool and I admire the guts it takes to break outside of the norm for a custom look..

Looks like you are going to have to ride it around a bit to get an idea of what to do with the ride height and suspension dialed...

You have to admit, the drop seat idea is very tempting, you will likely wind up there in the end...
