Damn, I've been on vacation all week half way across the country and I'm going through mod withdrawl. lol Flying home tomorrow and I've already decided I'm taking Monday off from work. Can't wait another week to get back in the shop.

not sure, looks like it's just laid on there for mock up purposes though. check him out for pricing, i supplied the link a bit earlier.
**EDIT**it's drilled and bolted into the backbone.

dude you're on vacation and you can't stay off the forums. man i'm not the only one. take it ease man.....relax, bike aint goin ANYWHERE i promise. lol.
so here's what i got going on. rene over @ mercurymoto pounded out a fender for me from a flat piece of sheet metal and i'm super pumped on it! i've ordered a rear coker firestone blackwall and the front will be ordered next week. i'm also trading my gas tank with an xlforum member for his 48 peanut (wire tuck and coil relo will be done at this time also, need that flat bottom frisco look). might swap the seat out for this one too:
i'm def. going to do something with the exhaust too. got my eye on a few sets of pipes out there or i might get a local indy here to build me the pipes i want. also thinking about modifying a stock set of header pipes and welding on some exhaust tips with lollipop baffles (got the idea from another member over on xlforums) but we'll see. still gotta chop the rest of my struts up to the top suspension mount too and relocate my rear blinkers (or just remove them altogether and get a single brake light). here's the fender test fitted on rene's bike, still needs to be PC'd black of course.
