thanks, i guess its a good thing that my never wanted to ride....
I used LA Choppers that look just like those. They come in 1" and 1.25" for $127. Says they're made in the USA but all of the bolts are metric. WTF?

thanks for the input... i'm really liking it with no fender, the more i look at it, the more i like it.

Whats the story on the licsense plate holder? did you fab it up yourself? If so I would love to get one of those bad boys...The rsd passenger plate holder has the light on it and since I don't need it I would rather go simple...Let me know. I love the way the bike looks with the stock front tire on it..pretty mean looking.

thanks man! for the plate mount, i just used a spare part i had laying in the garage, cleaned it up a little bit, then drilled holes in it to mount the plate...

i used a seven position locking brace from a 50' Retractable Air Hose Reel i bought. i didn't need to leave it fixed, so i figured it would be better used on my bike. here's the info for just that part...

Legacy L8300-W Bracket For Wall Or Ceiling Mounting

thanks man! Once I begin the second phase of mods this winter , I will be sending the RSD seat out to be modified… since they will have the pan / mold i can pretty much get done what ever i want. I plan on adding a little extra foam to the front to meet the tank & 3” more foam to the back to move me up close to the tank, & possibly add a inch or so of height to it.

I’ll post up more details on the second phase of mods once I have made up my mind on a few parts…
