Seriously! That turn signal location is awesome. So simple, I can't believe nobody had that idea already. Just don't know if it is legal.

Yep, it surely is a very creative location.  As for legalities, don't they differ depending on where ya are?  Up here in the wilds of Southern Ontario, vertical tag brackets are technically a no go, but I run one anyway, and so do a lot of folks I know.

Hey Finney, sweet ride man. I used an ol' Magna front fender on the back end with struts, so the CB should look killer.

How do ya like the Window bars?  It was a toss up for me between Windows, T-bars or my Frisco's. Settled on the Frisco's in the end, but I'm really diggin' the look you got goin' there.....

Edit:  If ya wanna keep the ride low, and have access to a welder, I'd suggest ya chop those seat horns off and fab up some different seat mounts. That's what I did, and it worked out pretty well.  Keeps me right in the bottom of the ditch, and let me put the seat I wanted on it.

I love how you make things from old stuff. And the turn signals in the rear, very cool.

I'm not a fan of ape hangers but that's just a personal preference! Very cool bike. Thanks for sharing.

I'll go with the magna, it's longer than the cb. Great looking bikes on here
