Weld on rigid tail???

sorry for cell phone pics.. will post up when I have more progress and my camera out.

 

Looks great man, have any problems with the drag bars in terms of control or controls hitting the tank?

 

The left side has a full 1/8" which is great.. the right side is closer.. why? I cannot seem to explain this phenomenon haha. However it has not marred or scratched the tank and I can still go full lock.. so I think is just that close.

 

feedback?

 

nice man! more, more! sportsters turned rigid!

 

I like the side shot pic.
Looks very cool. Need some better pictures

 

looks tough man. why a rigid weld on though if you bought a nightster? you could have saved yourself some dough and bought something used and made a project out of it but whatever, to each his own. get that camera out!

 

yupp i deffinetly dig it, you really need to get a cuttin tool on those fender struts and chop those ****** off though, besides that looks like your right on the money.

if ya do a hard tail are ya gonna send out half the frame or build one yrself?

 

Two words, Lesson Learned. haha. I originally bought the bike lovin its looks and everything about it brand new and all.. this will be the first and last bike I buy brand new.
But now im stuck with it.. some aspects of it ave grown on me.. others have not, hopefully I can find a happy middle.

Fender struts will be ditched this weekend.
As for the weld on tail...I still havent decided. I have spoken to both Led Sled and Kansas Kustom and have been in touch with Warren JR from Cook's (as they are a few blocks away.)
However.. Led Sled's ship it to us deal is a bit tempting as far as convenience.

 

It's looking nice man, nude, but nice
