Thanks Sluggo! Grin

Yeah, I got pulled over today for having a broken tail light. He didn't like my LP, cherry bomb, lack of a horn, and was surprised I had a headlight... "What kind of bike was it?" as he's writing the ticket...

Back on track:

Your's is definitely a bobber... pretty d@mn sweet!

Keep up the good work guys!

both front and rear were from the gn. front was almost a straight bolt on. i made some little brackets that are hidden. on the gn the rear was half chrome and half plastic. the plastic part was hidden by seat. i just rolled the chrome half back farther and the holes pretty much lined up. only about a half an hour work. now propably got at least 100 hrs of staring time in though Grin

i'm going with the trapp, and carb mods, well i keep saying that. lets see what happens over the winter. i had seat repairs today. darn 30 year old bicycle springs on seat broke. it's going to sit on the frame for a few miles, see if the ole tail bone can handle the hardtail feel.
