Nice. Now go out and ride!
By the way, I gather you are not married. I do not believe my wife would be ok with me working on my bike inside the house.

The handlebar looks like the ones came stock on my '86. Swapped em for drag bars. What's old is new again !
I like flat black paint. How about plugging those empty tail light holes to finish it off ?

I like what you've done with your bike. Any plans on changing the seat to one with a smaller platform?

I would love to! do you know of any good seat mods? I saw that Corbin makes a bolt on one, but it still looks big an bulky to me... would love to mount a king queen seat, I saw someone on another thread did that. Just don't know if I posses the skill to fabricate my own seat.

Just keep scouring the web for seats. You'll eventually see something you like. You can either fond one like I or copy it.

I found a Harley Fat Boy seat was easy to modify .
I've got the matching back-rest now !
makes the "Total package fit together good "
It used to have a Really long nose on it !

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Bad ass.
How does that sissy bar attach -- did you weld it onto the stock back rest?
Can you share any more pics of that part?
