So I could not wait to share my progress. She is not totally done but she is road worthy again. Just in time for a snow storm headed my way?!?!?! I have to thank PurPony for his assistance modifying my heel guards and doing my powdercoat. Nice work my friend! I have to say again your tail turned out awesome! Similar but definitely different than mine. Just have to clean a few things up, bolt on a few more trinkets, paint my front fender borrowed from a Duc, remove a few unused mount tabs, complete and install my new exhaust and I have a friend who is going to rework my seat. I think I will be good till next winter. I have a feeling next winter I will be tearing it all the way down for a frame and wheel color change, Maybe some xb wheels.. who knows? I am thinking about black on black on black.. some shiny but mostly flat.

Nice work. What are you going to do for turn signals? |

Thanks Dave! Sdecp... The rear brake and turn signals are an led strip I got from Radiantz. I dont like the way its mounted and I am planning on building them into the underside of the seat pan when it is apart to be re-upholstered. The front turn signals I was trying to be all sneaky and mount amber led rings inside the xb lamp housing. In theory it was a good idea but didnt really work out. When I order more led strips for the rear I plan on mounting the flexible amber strips on the sides of the headlamp assy. |
