Oh, and I told you that fender tab bends easily. Don't be afraid to smack it with a hammer. Don't know what you're waiting for.

How about havin' yer fab shop drill two holes in the flat and making you a block to secure underneath from the top with some domed hex screws?
might do something just like that. gonna try and bend the rear seat tab down with a giant wrench and remount it. that just might do the trick. calm down over there SF....i hears ya, f-ing philly kids. lol

Yes, they install at the bottom and slip up to the top. Reuse your old changes, bud.

Actually, I just bought the thing, and I know it's a turd. I've no delusions of grandeur, my bike looks like ****.... Worse, the paint is all ****ed-up. But, I didn't buy it for looks. I bought it to ride it.

And like I said, people like what they like... Honestly, if you love it then you love it. Me, I think it looks ridiculous.

P.s. I didn't mean your bike, I meant CrazyOrange's bikes. I actually don't mind yours. The bars don't look like a 14 year-old's welding project, and the tank fits the frame...

p.p.s. Yes, it's some sort of leather pillow... It's coming off as soon as I get the bike on base.

Shut up, ***. Like it or not, crazy Orange are successful... You're not. Get back on Facebook and write about how your day at work sucked, loser.

are you a welder by trade? if so i can see you ragging on the bars theyre making. is it the style of bars that's throwing you off? sounds to me like you're just old and don't fvcking get it. i bought mine to ride it too, i just knew that if i ever got the ***** to chop my bike up i wanted it to look like this in the end.
