custom made clip on bars, i have the template for the cowl and i'll be doing my own tuck and roll seat
i did shave the top tree the other night, stickers will be on the tank so they're just taped on till i get the locations set
and i'll be running Coker Firestone replica 4.50 x 18 and 4.00 x 19

I really like the direction you're going with this! The cowl is much cooler than most that I see. I like the height of the bike too. This is close to what i'm shooting for on my bike. Well done

thank you sir, yeah the cowl was the only way i was happy so i knew i needed to make it myself, i bought a couple and sold the ones i had and i don't like the seat and cowl together, i'm using the cowl for a glove box of sorts

You counter steer a bike and then it turns into a corner and you help it remain at that attitude by leaning.But what do I know. 8)

When I was learning that counter steer method always freaked me out. It's a weird concept to turn the bars left for a right hand turn.

Now I use it aggressively on dirt to get the bike tipped into a corner, arse on tank, leaning over, dump the clutch and rail it out under power. It's amazing how it sticks sometimes and awesome at the same time when it fires out the other side floating the front wheel.
 
Why are the clipons fitted back to front?

Of course, it's pretty well documented that I hate those ancient style fat Cocker tires and believe that anyone using them for a bike that will be ridden, is certifiably nuts, so there's no hidden agendas here. :-)

Bottom line I guess is that as long as a rider isn't riding all that fast, almost any combo will probably work. Stay safe.
