send me a pm and I will give you the info on getting longer throttle and clutch cables and brake lines to match your needs.  They are special order and will cost you a few extra bucks but are excellent quality from Barnett.

As for fenders, if you have a motorcycle wrecker or salvage yard nearby, try looking at the front fenders off some of the older Japanese bikes, preferably of larger displacement.  The bigger old bikes had some pretty fat front tires, so the fenders fit well on the back of smaller bikes with a little work.  You'll have to fab up some struts, or buy a raw strut kit, as they're gonna need some support.  I hooked mine off the lower shock bolts and bolted it to the swingarm, so it'll move with the suspension while still hugging the tire pretty close.  Lowbrow Customs sell a pretty sweet fender strut kit if you wanna go that route.

I picked up 2 front fenders off the old Yamaha Magna's for 30 bux and they fit nicely after some elbow grease.  They're off at blasting right now, but I'll try to post some pics when I get 'em back.

well i made my seat pan when i had some down time at work. i made it out of 1/8" stainless. and to my suprise i ordered some seat springs and i got them in the mail 2 days later.   so i hope to get the seat covered this weekend and maybe ill get to cut the old rear fender/seat mounts off and fab sdomenew ones to get my solo spring seat on there. i also made some temporary struts to see how i am going to like having no shocks. not to bad but im sure i will get better when i get my new seat on. hopfully ill get to post pic's soon

Sounds like the kinda project that otta have a few pics posted,, dont it?

first mod was the seat spacer made it alot more comfortable ride. as you can see in the background i have a plasma table and can cut anything anyone needs   (for a small fee of course)


And i got the idea to make a spring seat for it. used 1/8" stainless


Punched 1/8" holes to attach the leather with pop rivets.


sorry for the quality i still have a pos cell phone




Blue sleeping pad from wallyworld


Carpet padding for a little more comfort. don't know if im going to keep it this way or do something diff.


My lights and fender


The tail light has my rear signals and break lights together.


one of the sissy bars i have made trying diff looks. of course its not done here. i can make them if any one is interested. i can make pretty much any look you like.


this will be the one i will be using on mine.





Break light mounting plate. i don't know if im going to leave it this way or change it. guess ill try it and see.


And the begining of the transformation.







And the basic mock up of what it will look like. i have made some temp struts to see how low i can take it. i will be making some diff ones a little diff with some cuts and designs in them. i also can make these or some of pretty much any design you can come up with. just need how much drop you want (if any) and the design.




I will be cutting the seat/fender tabs off and making new a mount for my spring seat.


Thats pretty much as far as i have got so far. will be working on it all weekend. i don't like not having it to ride lol

Hmm, how much would it cost for a custom sissy bar that isn't super intricate?
