Default Winter Train Project Pics

Fellas - I'm kind of new to the forum. I've been viewing and reading for a few months now and finally signed up a few weeks ago to begin adding to the conversation. Actually, a lot of you, without knowing, helped me during the transformation of my train this winter.

I've done the following recently:

RSD rear tracker fender
RSD solo seat
RSD vintage apes w/ burly cable kit
Progressive rear drop (only bolts)

Painted/powder coated some parts to BEGIN going all black, still have a lot to do! Anyways heres the progress, not completely done yet...

To start :


In tear down mode :

Where she sits now. Although i really need to take care of the tree and fork lowers they stand out terribly being the only chrome pieces remaining. Very close to being finished though :

Nice work. Where did you have to put the ECU with that fender?

Mounted it to the splash guard, plenty of room and the wires all had good slack.
