looks sweet! what did you end up doing for jetting?

SO I got tired of bumping my lights and them not working right, not to mention not being day-friendly... i imagine i need to get stiffer shocks, but i also wanted to put a little fender on the back... the fenders a little crooked, so i may need to adjust that but im going to run it for...

pretty clean gs... great job...i really like the stitching and gold lines i mounted my turns and plate like that and broke it off... you can check out reply #78... admittedly my welds weren't great, but that would have just ruined my tire and severely bent the bracket...

looking forward to this!

i ran out of gas on the way to work and my wife had to bring me some... so i figured id graduate from the 1.9" speedo to the 2.5" speedo with trip and indicators.. add a tach... and then upgrade the headlight... i think it is more balanced up front... when i get chance ill open the headlight...

turlock is 24 and 25th... you could hit both in the weekend... my brother is in fresno and is missing herwaldt for turlock...

i thought about a sissy bar when i saw caleb owens' born free 6 bike... but then the brat tracker looks more like a 60s triumph soft tail chop from the biker gang b movies minus the fiberglass bodywork... can you think of a good example of a sissy bar on a bike of this style? my tenkara rod...

thanks... maybe ill say its the tide table translated from my 7 favorite fishing locations... afterall, i love riding to fish...

on the bike its definitely crooked and lumpy... it looks worse in person... but its mine and i did it and i can do it again! i need to fix the corners and fill the gap... probably should have kept my original idea and let batting go around the edge and back under.... [you can also see in the...

so i watched a youtube video and thought.. i think i can do that... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nVyPiPvR2g my thought was bigger than my ability but i got close for someone who hasnt sewn much and has a sewing machine made by kenmore... i know ill have to do another, but its an honest...

what if i y the exhausts and bring them just outboard of the cradle and under the shift/brake mechanism right to the mounting point on the rear pegs? i would think my fixed pegs would be a bigger detriment than the exhaust... also i havent been riding very long so pushing the corners probably...

does lowering the front and the back the same amount change the rake and trail? if not, how does that affect riding corners? if so, ive not built a racer, but a get around bike... if i ride foothills with gentle turns, im likely not going to see any major changes

thanks... im going to try my hand at sewing a seat.. ive got some marine vinyl and batting ready to go... just need the time my idea is to have smooth sides with some sort of stitching pattern on the top of the seat... as for lowering... im thinking id like to lower the whole thing an inch or...

and i moved the mirrors to the turn stalks... not sure i like it at all but wondered where i could put them to get them off the bar ends...

i was bothered by the tank end crimped together and not as wide as the seat where it meets the tank so i cut some off and pushed it forward then ground it out with an old flap disk to fit over the back of the tank its not symmetrical (on the left) yet but when i stretch the seat cover...
