Ive been going to follow your instructions to put a short tail on mine but im a bit mechanically challenged, in other words i everything i touch but i have a mate whos a boilermaker by trade and hes got all the shit to do it so i just have to convince him to help me.

The way I did it was OK for starters, but I'll eventually weld tabs on the frame and make up another sub frame and do it properly. The S1 tail is great unless you want to ride distances, then its painful. Bike looks the goods, you should put the american gearing on it, makes it better of the mark. |

Its not a seat cowl mate the seats been recovered with yellow at the back , I didnt do that the guy who owned it before me did , I cant make up my mind whether I like it or not I was thinking of dying it all black again . (Message edited by griffo on August 07, 2010) |

Griff, I see the extra rivets on the flyscreen. Looks good, is there something attached to the back of it? JiM2 |

no nothing on the back the guy who had it before me drilled holes in it to put a small windscreen on it which i didnt like the look of so i took it off and was going to fill the holes and repaint it but i saw those plugs at an auto shop and put them in and they looked ok so i left it at that (Message edited by griffo on August 07, 2010) (Message edited by griffo on August 07, 2010) |

It provides an industrial sort of Heavy-Metal look. |
