I used to build bikes, and have done alot of modding to them.
I love the pipes on that bike. Good job.
Can you rotate the rear fender so that the bottom is to the point where you want to cut it? I can't tell if it's stock or an aftermarket fender. All you might have to do is drill two holes for the struts on each side, one for the seat, and cut some off the inside where the splash guard and belt are.

This would allow you to keep the paint work on the fender which looks very nice.

The fender if you notices has some damage to the paint. One of the big reasons it was cut.. It is a stock fender.. My dad has a great idea for keeping some of the paint theme for the rear fender.. I also just made a spacer for the hyper charger, that I I have never seen done before with a hypercharger. I am not a huge fan of them, but after looking at other air cleaner options, prices, I opt to keep it, added my lil twist.. Pics to follow of that, also more of the metal work


Thanks all

Nice little changes man, kind of crazy how such simple things can really change the looks of a bike. Good work.

Thanks..

Here are some more pics of the metal working.. Dad is the man, much props to him.. Still a bit of work left. Going to incorporate some design that will keep the paint theme, so it just doesn't look like it was slapped on, however in it state it is a one off part..



After the other part was welded, some light polishing.. This is a long process, metal has to be block sanded totally smooth, then buffed..


Ok so I added a lil more of a twist.. I am not a fan of the hyper charger. But after looking at what else is offered, I like it enough to keep it.. So I decided I was going to add a spacer to it, that not only spaced it out a 1'' but also kicked the front out in a angle.. So now it is out, keeps the same lines as the gas tank. Took a bit of time to machine this all down, drill holes, finesse the holes in the cover of the charger to all work. But it was well worth it, looks great.. Again another part that is 1 off.. I have never seen this done with this style cleaner, have never seen a spacer of this kind for these..

Bike looks good!

I thought spacers only worked if they had nitrous ports!

Fab looks good though. Never thought to use a hole saw on the lathe. I'll try that next time i'm boring a huge hole.
