if you got really creative you could make the tongue slide to extend / shorten for different boards or a kayak or canoe

Tried to fit between the frame and fender: impossible for more reasons than I care to list.

I'm moving forward with the rectifier bolts because it fits so darn perfect there. All I need to do is get some extra hardware to fasten the pillion seat and plate. Only modification needed was to snip some corners into the rear seat "lip." Seat is in dire condition anyways so had no issues doing some light plastic surgery  Roll Eyes

I know I was warned about potential fender warping, but if the fender can hold a pillion, and/or some luggage then I doubt a 10lb board will ruin it. I know the issue is more about the wind resistance/sail effect, but I am thinking of adding a pvc "arm" between the front of the frame and the nose of the board to counter that. I will be testing for alignment after initial test runs before going on any lengthy journey.

Couple pics of a test fit:

No I won't be using these tiny screws. Plan on getting longer bolts of matching thread and use a locking nut and washer with the bolt threaded from underneath to avoid tyre clearance issues.

Also the plate will likely be slid to the right. It was centered for me to mark the seat evenly before cutting into it.


Rear wheel's still off because I couldn't be crappity smacked to put it back on after testing fitment between frame and fender..

Bet your itching for the snow to melt and get this thing on the road! Surf was excellent here today! Seems like NY has been getting some really good swell!

Yeah man.. Realistically I don't plan on going anywhere before I feel the road is safe enough to do so since I'm still a relatively new rider, and the winter does wonders to the roads (not!)

As far as swell, this weekend was flat or with too much onshore so it sucked, but hoping for some good 3 footers to get as much practice in before the summer/fall! Also seriously considering a trip to Sayulita (Mex.) Until then I'm hoping this will take me as far as NJ and Long beach.
