Default Mods Finally Done
Well I finally got the mods for this winter done and am ready to ride.


Chopped the rear fender and struts
Painted the rear fender Mirage orange/Black to match the tank
Fab/Welded front bracket and mounted Spring seat
Had a 3x16" front wheel built
Went to 120 Front tire 160 Rear
Modified stock lenience plate bracket and fit to new set up

Well here are a few shots of the bike with the springs mounted on the seat I may remove them later, only 4 bolts and it fits perfect.

Not a fan of springs on top of springs, but overall very nice job.

Yea me neither but they pop right off and since I pulled the leather and cushion off the pan and reshaped it to fit my frame/fender it fits almost perfect when the springs are removed

The small front wheel really looks weird on the bike. Otherwise, the rest looks good!
