Anything specific? Let me know and I will post them up.

I thought about buying a set from Les but these will do for now. I also like trying to do my own thing when I can. With these I can still use my kick start if needed by folding the peg up. I am really working at keeping this low budget.

great job had no idea it would be that cool for the rear sets im lES seems the mods and the staFF department arent in sync on his exprerstise YOU GOT A ROCKIN SET UP he can taKE it up a notch

Trust me! your not offending me by not using my stuff. I'm really all for guys using ingenuity and resourcefulness to accomplish what is desired without the expense of killing the original old Kaw as Maw Kaw would have made it. You do what is best for you and yours!

Side view directly on from both sides?
Thanks

I have not did any prettying up yet. Gonna grind it down and plastic dip the brake pedal I think.

I got the battery box made, Styrofoam battery is done, underseat wiring compartment and shortened the seat/tail assembly a bit. I think I am ready to strip it all down now.

Well I have it all tore down and have started getting some parts cleaned up. Lots od polishing,painting and so forth needed.
Fork legs and swinger polished.


Got the frame stripped down. Found out I can't or am scared to lift one of these moto

rs by myself anymore!

You are correct to be wary of these motors, they are reeeeeally heavy....but check Arnold's 2.0 build, he tells how he put the motor on its side and then lowered the frame onto the motor. He had just painted the frame too and not a scratch on it, a few others have also done this. Sounds like a very good and safe idea. Liking the build so far man.

I have done the motors both ways and much prefer the lay down method but it only works if you are removing front and rear ends I think. Actually thats how I got the motor out but then I had to get it on my little cart USED to be able to lift them :huh: Maybe I am just smarter now!

I have been looking for some different pegs to put on my stock brackets. The main reason I wanted narrower pegs is so I can still use my kick starter with the ghetto rear sets. They did not require much modification but I may cut the mount and twist the peg closer to the proper place.

Got a little bike time in today. Too much snow and mud to ride. I got the ends caped where I hacked the sub frame off. No pipe bender so I copied this idea that I seen done on the forum. Worked out okay. Some grinfing and filling yet to do.
Wayne

that is the reason i like metal so much.

the grinder takes away.
and,
the welder replaces.

a lil time and patience and no one will be able to tell that it didn't come from the factory that way.
