Quick and easy kooky customizing.
Mudflap: I decided to make a mudflap since my fender got cut too short and too plainly straight. Added length and a fun look. Used some rubber from my worktable grip pad, cut out the shape I wanted. Secures flap to the fender and match drilled holes. Had a marine upholstery or whatever generic button squeeze kit and installed buttons to hold it on but also gives classic studded look. Add jewels or any kooky stuff ya want.
Horn: ran rear shock stud through bicycle horn clamp. I love honking this sucker when riding past folks outside of restaurants or when I see a buddy out and about. Its actually pretty loud and a very friendly fun sound that people really get a kick out of.
Air filter: I don't like the ham cans, but I also don't like most other big shiny after market air cleaner)covers. I just removed the ham can and then shaved down the plastic backing plate so it hides behind the rectangle but still spaces it, and holds carb to motor with breather bolts. Free of cost. I like the aluminum look.
Sissy bar mounts: on the older Evo sporty the subframe fender strut tubing is dished in and has fender mounting holes there. Cut some tubing or and weld some threads to it that align with the holes( I just cut threads off a bolt). Then bend up a sissy rod and either weld it in or drill and bolt straight through.
Most importantly, have fun and make it your own!
