Nice, the bikes looking pretty sweet. I got the same year. How'd you go about the rear fender? Did you just drill a hole in the top and bolt it to that tab on the frame or..? Also wondering how the rigid mount compares to the stock shocks. I'd really like to mount the rear fender closer to the tire but im debating between cutting the passenger struts or go rigid mount.

 

Here's a picture of what's going on with the rear fender. This is a custom bend piece of metal that holds the seat. But yes, more or less, there is a bolt that holds the fender to the tab on the frame.

I hate to admit it, but I haven't ridden it yet with the rigid struts. I am still working on getting it registered.

 

Much better. Great job

 

Looking fresh and updated, like it.

That 48 seat looks huge. btw

 

Looking good, how much road debri ya think youll get sprayed with with no front fender? Ive been tempted to take mine off.

 

Nice. But fringes gotta go

 

It was nice looking to start, but looks killer now. Great job!

 

Very nice!

Is it just me, or does the clutch cable appear extremely long?

 

tassles?? come on man.
