    I used the stock bar mount and curve, I then cut and angled some 1.25" pipes and then I welded back in the 7/8" bar ends to use the stock controls and grips. Feels good on the test ride, so I'm happy!

    Yup.

    I had the stock bars in stock position and I marked where I needed 7/8" for all the controls and cut and welded that to the 1.25". I will take a pic with the controls later on. Thanks

    Just a lil metal and fiberglass wrap, nothing too flashy. Still in the early stages, I still have to do shaping on all the angles, but it is coming along nicely.


    Here are a few shots with the controls and grips, looks all-right, considering the warehouse sized controls,hahaha.

    Bars look good. Is that rear fender from another bike or did you fab it, seeing it from behind shows how it flows with the tank, look's good. :wink:

    Solid strut tail.

    Flat Black and Candy Lime Green (flames or scallops) I will have a drawing day when I get all the body work squared up and I will see what I like by how it flows on the bike.

    The fenders are off of a 00' V-Star , front one is skinnied and rear is just clocked downward and molded with a seat pan and side paneling.

    I will get a build thread going soon, just been to lazy to do it, lol.

    Thanks !!
