Title: My SS lost its tail -Back w $14 Northern Tool Fndr Post by SoE on 07/04/11 at 10:08:51 http://sonofelvis.com/suzuki/Bob.png Actually, the new fender is about to go on, but I'm twitching to ride it. In fact, I need to ride it to a friend's to finish the fender and lights. He's two mi away. So, anyone know if its legal to ride in TN w just a plate on back? |

Title: Re: My SS lost its tail Post by Serowbot on 07/04/11 at 10:10:29 I think you need a tailight/brakelight to be legal... |

Title: Re: My SS lost its tail -Back w $14 Northern Tool Post by SoE on 07/08/11 at 19:35:22 I ended up rigging the brake light and plate to get to the shop. It didn't fly off and I did not see any cops. Kevin, my blacksmith friend took a cheap Northern Tool fender and went crazy on it. Side note: I want a plasma cutter, they freaking rock. The end result was not exactly what I was expecting, but I really like what he did. Kevin does really expensive iron work for a living after ditching his Silicon Valley gig years ago and making his hobby his day job (and relocating among the hillbillies). I said "can you make a fender outa this" and the metal work artist came out and took over. I tried to stay out of the way. VERY custom result made for the bullet signals and the cheezy, cliche, I-don't-care-cuz-it's-my-bike, iron cross tail light. You may roll your eyes. I dig it :D http://sonofelvis.com/suzuki/Kev.png http://sonofelvis.com/suzuki/fendershop.jpg http://sonofelvis.com/suzuki/side-large.jpg http://sonofelvis.com/suzuki/fender-rear.jpg |

Title: Re: My SS lost its tail -Back w $14 Northern Tool Post by SoE on 07/09/11 at 06:16:57 Thanks, guys. A guy I work with has restored a lot of bikes- Triumphs, HDs, etc. He gave me a lot of $hite about the tail light, but had to admit he liked the end look. I need to tackle the seat next and it all gets paint next weekend. |

Title: Re: My SS lost its tail -Back w $14 Northern Tool Post by SoE on 07/12/11 at 05:46:28 The seat! That's what I'm working on now. Can't decide about springs or just lower profile, but that pillowy looking seat def has to go. |
