Hey all been a while since I've posted anything but finally got the boot off my foot and got out for my first ride today in about 2 months, God was it nice, you forget how you zone out about everything else when you riding wife, kids, job you just go.  But anyways got my mods done for now to include, handle bars, risers, grips, diamond jim's seat mod, and the newest and i think one of the best a set of Ed L's forward controls.  But was just wondering what other's thoughts where on my work in progress and just what style it falls under, I mean i went with what I liked and what was cheap and comfortable but was just wondering... chopper, bobber, cafe racer what?





Still want to do the white spacer mod but when i attempted it was starting to strip two of the screws so i didn't wanna get pissed and break something.  So just put it back together and decided to get back to it sometime later.

I agree. I would say that with the mods, it would be a "Big Nix" style Savage.
Btw, welcome back to life on 2 wheels.

I love the risers.  Grips are cool too.  What mirrors you going with?  What's that little red wire sticking out between the left FC and side cover?  Is that a Ft. McPherson base sicker on the lower fork?

What is that orange-ish looking switch located on the left hand control on the front near the clutch lever?  Noticed my 98 doesnt have that switch in that position?

I did the seat myself, didn't cost me more than $10 and about an hour of work me and diamond jim both have threads about it.  And it is alot more comfortable.  As far as mirrors just gonna have to go with the stocks for now haven't really found anything else i like.  Oh and the red wire inbetween the left forward control and the engine is my kickstand saftey switch  that i bypassed, just need to get it zip-tied up somewhere out of the way.  And yah Jim that is a Ft McPherson sticker.
