It is badass!Well i had to make a bracket and mount it to the tail inside for the tail light to mount too.i had to mount the under belly.i used stainlesss pop ridits to mount it.then i drilled two holes in the tail to mount the tail.To the cross angle and welded nut to the angle to bolt the tail down.Then one more 2 in hole so you can get to the oil tank.Then i had to prime and paint it.Then i cut out the back behind the back of the seat area.For storage area.And i call AirTech to see how i was to mount the seat.and they said to used felcro.I am working on a new way to mount it. It has been a on going project.But as you see it gives it the look i am going for.

Thanks.I took the bracket from the front shock mount.And had the hole moved forwand 3/4 inch.that will drop the bike around 2 inch.And then slide the forks up the same to keep the bike balanced front and back.
