A bobbed rear fender might look sweet.

That's a Blackline? I never would have guessed it. But no rear fender? Not unless I had steel underwear and I never rode though any water.

Awesome man, mid controls is one thing I thought ahead to add on the train. How do up find the new rifing position over the long stretch forward?

I really like the idea of mid controls, and love the look. I don't think I would survive the reversed shift pattern.

I still haven't given up on my mids project. I'm waiting for Sikpipes to finish building my exhaust so I can finish the job.

Joe's set up is wild, I love how he did it all by himself
