a wee story...

[dantheman]

started off like this bog standard fxrs-sp,

i had a rough idea the way i wanted this bike to look, but beware before anyone undertakes even a menial task,think everything through, as u may or may not know if you alter one thing it inevitable leads to other things coming into play, such as wiring ,llonger cables, making brackets etc, so have a clear piture in your head before ye start;)
first off started by lowerin suspension by 2 inches, front n rear,next was to fit the apehangers, which meant moving wiring running them inside bars, longer cables ,brake lines,


after sorting that out forwards, get a couple o spacers made up,bit of 1/4"plate,trial fitting then weld them up,

gear selector side,

brake side,

next up to clean up the front end ,get rid of clocks and run small one,move indacators,bracket for new headlight,


alot tidier front end if u ask me,


next came the paint and new badges, and fitting cables,

all fitted oan, and new single seat ,that jist left new exhausts,


new 2 1/4 inch exhausts


next up a wee try oot, worked fine and dandy,
next up will be when finances divtate, custom rigid frame kicker box, upswept pipes,wire wheels, etc old skool bobber,is what i eventually have in mind

Nice one Dan,

Wish I could ride with me legs out straight like that ....rather than them tucked up round me arse

Tis one of the problems when you've got such long legs

Nice bike Dan...hard work pays off.
That wiring photo though....Jeez, I'd end up setting mine afire if I tried owt like that. Nightmare to sort out.
