Title: My Ride......... Post by Georgiadigger on 04/05/12 at 11:08:09 Here is my 2007 LS650. Thanks for looking!

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by EJID on 04/05/12 at 13:28:13 Looks good! Did you do the BCB work on it? Up until the pic from the rear, I thought you had a nasty case of gas eating through the paint on the tank, then I realized it was just the clouds shining off there instead 8-) |

Yes Sir, it's BCB kit. I did the work myself. Pretty easy except for the wiring. I blew one fuse while figuring it out :o What do y'all think about the shortened belt guard? Next time I take the rear wheel off. I'm going to do a little more cutting on it. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by EJID on 04/05/12 at 14:39:57 Shortened guard looks good, but since you don't have the ability for a passenger anymore, why don't you just take the guard off? Really, the likelyhood of someone getting hurt from not having a belt guard is mostly a passenger, the driver's legs are so far forward most of the time that it shouldn't be an issue. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by WD on 04/09/12 at 05:04:55 Really digging the rear fender struts. I've been wanting to do those with my FLH rear fender, let the whole thing move like a Drifter. Tired of dragging the fender tip on speed bumps, so I raised my bike via 800 Intruder rear shocks. Would still like to make the fender move. Very nice job on that one. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by SimonTuffGuy on 04/09/12 at 07:09:05 Their fender kit looks more and more pleasing as I see it. Very nice being all painted up too. Wonder if they split that apart from the seat at all. Their website doesn't list it separately. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by SALB on 04/09/12 at 09:43:59 Looks awesome! Love that factory blue! ;) |
|
Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by splash07 on 04/10/12 at 11:33:01 pretty darn good job, what color blue is that? I just sent my tins off to be painted and I am going with a GM indigo blue and white. Yours look amazing. Also, just for comparison, and if you dont mind me asking, what did the paint job cost ya? |

Tank & front fender is OEM, rear fender is rattle can. Dupli-Color Toyota Stellar Blue with a rattle can clear coat. Paint job on my bike was in too good of shape to paint, so I just tried to match the rear fender. It turned out better than I thought. Slick as a eel turd. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by SALB on 04/12/12 at 20:23:57 I would have sworn the rear fender was painted OEM as well! 8-) |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by Buster on 04/13/12 at 11:15:17 Really nice job you did with the kit. Tried the seat out on any long runs yet? |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by gcsdls on 05/14/12 at 05:43:46 If you don't mind me asking...how comfortable is that seat when compared to stock? |

It is a very nice seat but, it's still a springer seat. I'm going to bend a pan so I can slide the seat back a little. Sliding the seat back to fit my riding posture would help a lot. Instead of me forming to where the seat has to be. I generally on sit in the seat no more than 30 minutes at the time. I basically just ride the bike to work and short stress relieving full throttle rides. Hope this helps. - |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by splash07 on 05/16/12 at 08:36:18 My painter just sent some pics before it ships but my blue actually looks pretty close to yours. http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/fe131d3d.jpg |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by Georgiadigger on 05/16/12 at 16:28:51 Sweet paint job Splash. I thought about putting stars on my tank too but, I ran across the Death Trap emblems. Since that is what my wife calls my bike, I figured it was fitting. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/16/12 at 16:33:26 Slick as a eel turd. Ill bet they really are slick. The paint looks really good, nice matchin job, |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by Mario Verasso on 05/17/12 at 19:12:59 I just wish you could get the fender & struts only. Last time i checked you have to buy the whole kit. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by martinfilms34 on 05/17/12 at 19:19:49 The bike looks awesome! Im lovin, the springer seat, and soft tail. Looksgreat! |

Still true... I asked them why and they said it was a liability to sell them apart. I guess someone used their parts and almost crashed when his tire hit a part that wasn't a piece of the BCB parts and he almost lost it. FWIW - I'd be willing to split a part of the kit if anyone wanted to go halves... I want the fender/struts and will give you dibs on the seat, license plate bracket, etc. |

Title: Re: My Ride......... Post by SimonTuffGuy on 05/20/12 at 14:52:17 Oh - They will sell you JUST the fender itself http://bluecollarbobbers.com/web/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=178&category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=24 Buy that and fabricate up the struts... That may be the way I end up going instead. |
