1974/75 Chrysler Imperial tail light for the chopper. Going to remove the big ugly stock housing from the back and cut an aluminum plate to replace it. Then I'll stuff it full of as many LEDs as possible. When I make my fender stay, I'll do so with mounts for the light as well. Should be neat, and one of a kind.

Nice light, cool shape for sure. I would design the fender so that light can be built right in flush and make the bottom match the point on the taillight. Could be very cool.
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

I have a plan for it Mike. I'm just hoping its not huge. Should be here in a couple days so I can start messing w it.

Did a little mocking up before final welding on Friday. Just wanted to make sure ride height was where I wanted it. Looks ok to me. Bike seems uneven due to the rough ground but sits nice and level with that wheel set and front end. I think it has a nice aggressive stance. Ill have some actual time tomorrow to set the tank and seat on there and get a better pic.
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

Looks great, you going with mids or forward controls?
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

High mids. Broke down and spent the $20 on the premade mounts. Now I need to find some kick ass pegs.
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

Looking good Mikey. I like the USD forks and mag wheels.

Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

Looks great man! And some actual progress before 10 pages. I smell victory. ;D Wish I could say the same.

Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

With the voodoo tail will it fit the stock rear wheel or are you going to have to make some spacers for it to line up the wheel, sprocket, etc?
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

Its made for the stock rear wheel, though I hate stock chain adjusters so there may be some minor changes there.
 
Re: '81 XS650 short chop - "Schizophrenic"

Looks great so far. I'm waiting on my hard tail from VooDoo right now. Cant wait to see what you do with the tail light.
