looks great man! i dig it alot. a couple questions cus i cant quite see in the pics, are those struts or a hardtail and how far back does the exhaust go?

[Guest]

thanks man!

its struted

on the left side the license plate mount/tail light are welded to it and on the right my tool bag covers it, trying to keep that ugly shit hidden

and the exhaust stops pretty much right behind my mid peg on the right side

[mjasen10]

it def looks sick man, what else ya got planned for it?

[Guest]

ummm hardtail it and maybe i new tank. who knows haha

[Guest]

[earz]

What bars are those? I love 'em

Btw - your helmet liner kicks ass.

[lobstermobster]

is that the stock front end on there, looks alot slimmer that mine.

this guy on ebay made em for me. he's got z bars he makes and sells but they have a lot more backsweep and downsweep so i just got him to change up the angles a bit. Mine are 1 degree back and 0 down. here's his ebay store link

thanks! the helmet liner is just glued in with spray adhesive haha. I just cut up pieces and fit them together, kinda like a puzzle with some overlap, then glued it all down. It stretches over the dense foam on the inside of the helmet so once its placed in the hard shell it looks pretty clean. Maybe i'll post up a thread on ghetto helmet relining haha. I'll probably re do it soon. So it looks a bit better. its falling apart on some parts and i now know how i can clean it up.

[Guest]

yeah i think its stock, well its what was on the bike when i got it haha. yours is the same year as mine isnt it? 81?

i'll PM you some pictures of the seat setup tomorrow. anything else you'd like close ups of?

[junkyard2]

yes the ass end close ups as well as the seat ones would be a great help for me brother..thanks

[lobstermobster]

yeah same thing. maybe its just the contrast of the pic that makes it look slimmer. maybe its cos the bottom of my forks are black. Probably just my eyes playing tricks on me
