Here's a picture of front and rear attachments, welded another piece to the tab on the rear, drilled and mounted to my seat bracket:

And welded a post on the frame, drilled the front tab and bolted to it:

Thanks for the photo Arnold I really really appreciate it.

I like what you did for the rear because I have the BCB seat bracket as well and that was an issue I was going to have to address. Thanks, now that problem is solved.

For the front mount why did you have to sit the tank so high? Would it not mount flush? I like it but, it won't look right for the tank that I want because the tank already sits high.

Also if you have a chance could you snap a photo of how you mounted that speedometer? Embarrassed

Custom rear guard and white heat rap arrived today from "Blue Collar Bobbers". Excellent quality. Will have to give guard a first coat to catch up.

I can't wait to see the bike finished

I feel like I'm watching an episode of American Chopper and I just want to see a finished bike already.

You'll have to tap the BCB seat bracket, it's made of aluminum, tough to go through but very solid once attached.

As for the front, all sort of things start touching if I lower it, mostly the gigantic petcock that came with the tank.

I'll go out in the parking lot and snap the speedo. Stand by.

I brought some wide white insulation tape which I am going to wrap around the wiring loom. And tomorrow I will mount the rectifier into the air box.

I'm also looking at covering the clutch and break cables. Does anyone know if their is such a product like flexi tubing>

So I fitted the swing arm with new roller bearings and grease. I wanted to have swing arm installed in case I scrap paint work during installation. Today is Sun in NZ and wont have any updates till Wed.
