I will try to figure out the whole picture thing. I am kind of "computer stupid" for lack of a better term. I have made other mods to the bike including: 18 inch rear shouldered alloy rim and spokes from Mikes XS (our hub is the same diameter, so the drill angle and spoke length are the same) laced by me and trued by a local bike shop, undrilled front alloy rim from E-bay sent with stock spokes and sent with hub to Buchanan's for drilling and assembly, so both rims match, Dunlop 4.00 X 18 rear tire for a more vintage look and feel, stock size front tire, front fender raised an inch for more clearance with brackets made by me, swingarm modified by me, rear turn signals relocated to license plate frame area, original seat cut down on a table saw to make it a solo, then padding added and reupholstered and raised about an inch on the frame, handlebars from a Honda Sabre with the original S40 one piece clamp shaved down to get it as low as possible so the cables (2006 model S40) would fit. (barely made it, had to cut handlebars down to 30 inch width), back of gas rank raised 3/4 inches to look less like a cruiser, heavy iron chromed side rear fender supports removed, raptor petcock, and Mike's XS Monza 11 1/2 shocks (will be replaced by higher quality shocks when I can afford them). I know it sounds like rolling swap meet but I like it and it fits me like a glove. I just need to lose the baby blue color. My son calls it a chick bike.
