Bah! This thing is literally falling apart under me. I took it on a 30 mile trip on the freeway and the left passenger peg and right side cover fell off at some point.

Very smart. I might not replace it though, we'll see where the bike ends up after more mods.

I decided on a general idea how I want it to look:

I tried to cheap out on mirrors at first. Wasted $15. Chintzy and made to thread into a bar end bung. Useless to me.
Spent another $26 and got some decent quality mirrors with an expander that slides inside the bar. Much better.








Next up a solo seat.

Go to www.fastfromthepast.com and get a set of their "Case Savers". If you go down, they will save you $$$$ on possible engine damage. The savers may not look "Cool", but you'll still have a bike.

Nice find. I already am liking the look with just the new bars. Get some new cables asap though, it looks like you've got spaghetti dangling from your bars :P .

Where are you in WA? Looks like west side judging by those last pics?

Good idea on the case savers, I was planning on some delrin frame sliders on the engine mount bolts.

Spokane area actually, just rainy today and spring is coming hard.

Yes, need cables bad. Bike budget is about dried up this month though.

Would it be possible for a mod to move this to the project section?


Minor update. After a couple weeks of walking away from rotten deals on ebay I finally scored an 03 Sportster seat for an acceptable price. Can't wait to see how it looks mounted.

No real updates, still waiting on parts to come in. Here's another version of what I'm going for, a friendly soul chopped it for me to reflect the colors I have in mind (gunmetal tank/covers and chrome fenders) and the USD forks.
