G'day
Wow its been a while. Time gets away from you when your having fun. Been busy on the bike. Mostly stuffing around and not getting a whole lot done.
Just shot some new photo's of the ole KP. Definately much happier riding it around now haha.
Nothing too crazy. Anyways a picture tells a thousand words. Still undesided over the tank height.
Tell me what you think... Cheers
A bit of "CHOPCULT" love

Man, that bikes looks real nice! I like the blue tank with black fender. What aren't you sure about with the tank? Maybe I can help out. The bars look amazing on the bike!

Not much I can do about the plate. Side mount isn't legal in Australia
Got some pics of the speedo and coil mount as requested.
Basically got an early evo engine mount off ebay with a solid centre section. Drilled holes to mount the coil and shaped the mounting surface. Made a quick aluminium speedo mount bracket. Bracket sits under the head steady mounting bolt. Used a 10mm stainless switch for the trip reset - mode button.
Cheers

Nice sporty mate, Nice to see some more real choppin happening out here (Buying chrome bolts on is not chopping....)
Now we just gotta convince the authoroties that spool hubs and 30" overs are alright

What speedo is that and where can I get one? I like how small it is. I'm not a fan of relocating the normal size speedo to the side. But this small one is nice.
Also how tall are those bars?

Bars are 8 inch rise.

I'm loving how your fender came out. Fuckin' clean, man. Can you give a more in depth description of what you did... or even do a "How To?"
