Well tonight I took off the sissy bar, the side rails and the rear turn signal lights. But let's not stop there. I remounted the sissy bar (wife said so) without the side rails and remounted the turn signals onto the sissy bar minus all that extra crap they put on them. Also the side rails will be replaced with a custom built set as soon as I can cut them out. Probably this weekend. I will post my pics then as well.

Here are the pics of the tail light and sissy bar conversions. Click on them for a bigger and clearer pic.










New side rails before the install.

what kind of metal are you going to use?

1/8" polished aluminum is cheap, easy to work with, weighs practically nothing, and looks good.  Not good for stctural stuff, though...  Also, you can cut it with a hammer and an anvil (well, the 1/14", anyway).

I like the brakcets.

I like the turn signals closer like that, these bikes look good with a narrow rear end.

Like the black pipe man.

I used the bottom hole in the sissy bar and put 2 of the short bolts from the rails back in from underneath. I was going to drill another hole in both the bar and the fender to keep the bar from pivoting on the one, but it tightened down very well with only one. I'm sure with some force it would move, but it would take alot I think.

Hey Steel,

I almost want to say they would look good in black like your muffler?   8)
