So this is what my bike started out as, this is actually the Craigslist posting:
About a week after I had the bike, my dog chewed a massive hole in my seat. My dad and I were scheduled to go on a several day bike ride in the next couple of days so I purchased a cheap ole seat to get my by until I found what I wanted. This is my bike right before we left. Just in case you were wondering, my dad has an Ultra-Classic so i got to store all my goodies on his bike
:
So after we got home, the first and easiest thing I did was I wrapped my pipes:
The next thing I did was replaced the seat. I ordered a tan leather seat. My dad and I had to fabricate a small brace so that we could bolt the seat down to the bike (although we actually ended up bolting one end down and tac welding the other end). Here is that ordeal:
Whenever I figure out exactly what I'm doing for the back fender, I'm going to remove the seat and position it a little farther back. I'm a long fellow and could use the room.
Nevertheless, the next thing I did was i replaced the breather with a custom one. It looks pretty sweet but I do not have any detailed pictures of it. If you want, Ill be glad to take it apart and take some pictures. But here is the final product after I put the breather on.
The most recent thing I did was I replaced the stock grips with some old school type grips. Simple Simple. But here is that.
I'm excited to keep on modifying my bike. Right now I'm looking into bobbing my back fender. Or taking off my forks and painting the lower tubes black. I'm not sure which I will do first. Oh the choices.
Ill try and get some better pics of my bike up so you can see it - although it's nothing really that special.
Thanks for listening. I hope I entertained you for at least a little while. Ill keep you posted on whatever else I do to my sporty.
