been meaning to for a while now, but finally got around to making a taller sissy bar for the misses. was a bit of a pain to measure, bend, cut, drill, remeasure, recut, etc, etc. but I finally did it and it looks pretty good I think. I redid my seat with the foam from my last attempt. This time no sewing involved. I just wrapped the foam with diamond stitched material. I am looking into some sort of waterproof. I tested a small sample with some Mod Podge. Worked ok but turned white when wet. My grandpa said back in the day they used Saddle Soap. Might try some of that if I find it. For now, Ill just keep an eye on the weather and not wash it. I also took my front fender off(just to see if I liked the look of it for now...might go back on, not sure yet) and I also removed license plate bracket, which was quite bulky and ugly in my opinion. Also, the other day I got my handlebars in! I love em so far. Nice stretch and height. No cable swapping. And they look pretty cool, too.
so of course....pictures:
mind the missing left front blinker lens. fell off on a ride the other day. I have a replacement on its way. til then, some good ole packing tape will do fine. Also, I plan on making a pad for the sissy bar to match the seat. But its 97 here in AR, so ill save it for another day.
