Useing a Plasma Cutter I Cut Four 3 1/2 inch long plates out of 1/8 think steel

 

then using the old mounts as guides drew in the mount holes

Then drilled a Pilot hole

then end up with theses

 

 

then did some more cutting and grinding to make room on the frame..

then set everything up and started to tack weld

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Becuse one of the brackets shifted re-tacking is going to need to be down as well as some sanding that was missed.

Mounting the Seat

started welding the seat mounts


Start

Grinding to match the Backbone

Finish:

 

 after the hinge was tacked i went to tack the shock mounts, and of course as it never fucking fails with custom matarils, all the tabs where perfect but ONE

Custom Chopped Rear Fender

Dug out the old stock fender and decided to chop it up to see how it would look, figured i was gunna throw it or give it away, so i took the die grinder to it, still have cosmetic work to do but heres the ruff product.


Start:

Chopping....

 

 

Outcome:

Frame Powder Coat Idea

Gas Tank mounted and Handle Bars Installed

Mounted the 3 deg neck cups (still have a lot of custom work to make the stem neck nuts and bearing to seat in properly) but this gave the measurements for the floating gas tank mounts.

 

also mounted the biltwell handle bars with 4in risers with 1in pull back
