I am new here but i figured id post up a step by step of my build. I love the finished product and i hope everyone else does too!

Lets start with a showroom pic


Right off the delivery truck to my garage


Just your normal DIY mods, removed reflectors, fender and belt guards


Next was a 3" tank lift coil relocation and ignition relocation along with the wire tuck


I decided on the vance and hines short shots paired with the arlen ness big sucker. I also threw on some 10" solid struts but still not 100% sure i wanted to keep them on there


After looking at what most people were doing with their fenders and frames i decided to chop about 4" off the frame and get creative with the fender and signals because i wanted to keep the factory running lights and signals, i also added smoked lenses. Black rocker boxes along with the matching derby and chain inspection covers.


Next on the list was 14" burly apes. Not a bad install over all but very frustrating! Also fitted white walls with a wider 170 rear.


Last but not least was the spring seat and slim solid black seat to keep my back a little happier with the solid struts.


This pretty much will finish her up only a few small things id like to add which will be a pc5 and a custom tune, and probably a bag fitted with a extra fuel tank only because the 2.1gal tank wont be getting me very far.

Hope everyone enjoys this, i cant wait to get some feedback!

 

Cool looking bike. You are brave for making such radical mods to a brand new bike. But it really works. Thanks for sharing,

 

Looks awesome! Good luck with it!

 

looks sweet! Did the 170 rear tire fit with out any mods? Also is your front tire still the stock width? How bout a rear picture showing the width of the tire!

 

Bike looks great man. Nice!

 

Man I am a big fan of aesthetics over function. With that being said I love the way struts make the fender sit on the rear tire, but I don't think I could ever deal with that rough of a ride. Nice bike it looks great!

 

Thanks everyone!

I stuck with the factory size front tire and yes the rear 170 fits with no problem and room to spare. I would have went bigger but I couldn't find a wider white wall.

I'll post up some other shots of the bike later when I upload them.

 

The struts def helped getting the fender down there but the chop is what really helped it sit that way!

 

That thing is badass through and through. Well done sir, well done

 

Did the 170 rear change the handling noticeably?
