I may go with some much narrower and higher bars and Frisco mounted Sporty tank. (lane splitter/brat style, I guess.) I will be wrapping the exhaust, painting the fender satin black like the tank, and removing the buddy peg on the right side. Your thoughts?

Posts: 28660 Tucson Az Gender:	Re: Mock-up Reply #2 - 06/30/10 at 23:07:52 I'd go a little narrower on the bars,... maybe an 1 1/2" off on each side... but, I do like the bars, and white grips are bold old school... ... and your Sparto, aka "limp thingy",... ain't so limp at that angle... can you think of any way to get it down?... Otherwise,... ... PS,.. how do you plan to keep your battery in place?...

I'm liking it a lot! Love the z-bars with the white grips and the seat pan would look awesome wrapped in brown leather! speaking of which, the battery would be cool enclosed in a brown leather pouch too ... with strap n' buckle closures!

Only thing I'd doo diff, is extend the rear fender enough so that the that oh-so-cool "limp d!ck" tail-light pointed rearward (more visible to following Cagers that way)

Also, ever thought about painting the tins flat army olive instead of flat black? The O.D. green looks wicked on a Bobber ... especially with WW2 type Nose Art decals on each side of the tank ... or, even the Flying Tigers famous "Shark Grin" painted on the tank ... now that would be WILD!

The bars are nice but I woudl put a slight angle (bend?) on the the grip part so that your wrists are at a natural angle otherwise you might get some numbness on the longer rides.

kevinphan:
Thanks!

Serowbot:
I cut 1.5 inches off the bars right after I tool that pic.
I can't think of a good way to get the fender out/around more. I cut it pretty short. I have a trailer fender that I want to narrow and try on for size. I agree that the light needs to be more visible.
I building a small battery tray that will be bolted to the frame then the battery will be held in with a strap of some sort.

PerrydaSavage:
The flat black on the tins is only temporary. I'm still deciding what I want to do with them. Hadn't thought about the bomber idea though. Thanks.

LANCER: Thank you sir!

T Mack 1 - FSO:
Thanks for your input. I bought the bars, didn't make them so I don't really have a good way to bend them. I don't plan on ridding very far anyway. Just around town for now.

babyhog:
I'm not sure if I'm going to use those grips or not. They are already really dirty. It depends on what paint scheme I end up going with. For now I plan to leave the seat raw. Thanks for looking!

Even though I've never seen it done I could see that tail light on the side of the fender. I guess you'd have to cut off the plate bracket part. I'm assuming CA requires signals and wondering what you're thinking of. Keep the pics coming.

Sounds like a better plan than finding someone around here to do one for me. jef.savage: Interesting idea. I'll give it a try. Yes, I'm in CA and yes, the do require signals. Not sure what I am going to use. Might just go without for a while and see what happens.

It makes it so much more easy when you know for sure how the fit will be.
