Default Almost Done

Got a few things left to do, like take off the front fender bracket and going to make a seat mount bracket that will scoot it back a couple of inches. 2" drop in the rear as well. Just wanted to see what folks thought...any suggestions?

It looks awesome! You've definitely done a good job with it.

The only suggestion I could make would be to convert over to a jockey shift. But, that's something you would have to be into, as it is a completely different style of riding. But, it would fit your bike nicely.

Nice bike - really like that bobbed fender. I'd go with a round oil bag and maybe a jockey shift later...

Looks great! Not a whole lot more to do...

Question - don't you slide off the back of the seat a little?
