Got me a head light. Had to make a bracket.

Been screwy for couple of hours now

Here is a few shots of my seat mounted, now i just need a passenger seat and sissy bar. I will eventually get some forward controls, maybe after the holidays. You can kind of see what i did, i took a solo seat with springs and front pivot mount, removed the springs and bent the ears on the front pivot mount straight and used the 2 bolts that hold the front battery mount to bolt the seat bracket down. The seat has a brace welded on the bottom...

i'm following you now, man. i think you're asking for trouble. that's gonna be way more than 5 degrees... unless i'm missing something. measure the distance from the swingarm pivot to the lower shock mount. then measure the distance from the swingarm pivot to the upper shock mount. you'll see that they're pretty much the same distance (right around 18" on my 1100.) this relationship is the key. if you...

well, finally had time to tear her down the rest of the way,,, taking the frame to work tomorrow and cleaning up bolts and cutting off uneccessary ears of the frame, etc.... gettin curiouser and curiouser,,,,lmao

Whats the deal with the avatars?

Whoa Havoc..I guess there is no turning back now!! This is getting interesting. Thanks for the pics.

Pipe i like your setup.I have to move the car out,stuff the bikes in the corner, to work on another.

when you change the angle of the shock, you limit the effectiveness of absorbing the bumps, and as a result you can damage the shock. When I first built my bike, I used lowering blocks which layed the shocks down a little. It was like riding a hardtail. when I got the 11" shocks it rode much better, yet sat at the same height it did with the lowering blocks. just use a shorter shock. It'll save your ass. lol freebyrd
