Sounds like you've got a good start on your project can't wait to see the end result.

I stretched my shaft and swing arm 5 1/2" just enough to make it comfortable for me.

The frame panels were added to give it a clean look also to hide the battery, fuse box, and the original tool kit that I mounted under the seat never know when you might need tools.

Here is photos of my tag mount

Sweet ride man! I'm sure it grabs attention on the streets! Your headlight is exactly like what I'm looking for for my bike, where did you find it and for how much? Everywhere I've looked they just seem too pricey. I've found some bullet passing lights on ebay for about $32 with shipping that I've been looking at getting. And my thought has been to use just one as my headlight, but I doubt it'll fit a light bulb that will allow high and low beam.

I bought my headlight on ebay it was $36 has far as the bars I'm sticking with them they are the most comfortable bars I've owned.

Jon I left a comment on your string

I finally got my pod filters installed and put a dyno jet kit in the cabs got the idol straightened out and this thing runs like a beast and rides suprisingly smooth with the hard tail I can't wait to get out on a road trip.

Do a search for syncing "tool". I used 2 baby bottles. Simple to do, cheap and works great...

How about a pic of you on the bike to REALLY be able to appreciate the stretch of the bike.

I'm getting ready to hardtail mine and I want to see if this is something I shoudl dig deeper on or if I should just look at forward controls and call it a day Very Happy

Bike looks AMAZING!!!
