What a geek!!!

Don't hate!!!

assuming your welds are good

I defiantly don't have the nicest welder. But they are pretty solid, I have about 200 miles on her so far and all is good! Actually if anything it is a bit too tall. I noticed that my feet don't seem as flat as before and I am 6ft. Might have to re-engineer at some point

Lovin the checkers! How did you do them?

Thanks! I bought some checkered sticker, It was designed for doors on a car and spent some time (to much actually) putting them on a chin fairing I had with a ton of road rash (sanded it smooth) Then I clear coated it with that krylon plastic paint and Tada!!

i spray painted my oil filter with high temp black paint. I wanted to go with the blue filter but it wasn't recommended by autozone.

Yea I'm running 55w as well, they are super bright and tend to piss off oncoming traffic at night lol

What are your thoughts on the EBR rotor and brake delete (hide)?

 

[jakestolar]

Well I got the rear sets on, the GPR Damper and the Corbin seat today. I am gunna see if I cant get my air horn working in the AM.

Here is a much better picture! The seat is actually fitted at this point

I love that seat but good damn that thing is steep. I didnt read the whole post im lazy in that a stock swingarm? I have that same bike color and year as you. I though about getting that same seat. I have one question, why do you keep your passenger pegs on have you rode some one on that?

Also you can get these white red and blue CarQuest oil filters, that match your bike and look great, rather then black. We have a lot of little red details plus i noticed you have the red switches like me on your ASV's so this filter would look great on your bike too.

Bad ass man. That Corbin seat looks great and even tho the lift is steep the back seat seems fairly level (tho tiny!) Second rider good to go on that?

Great envision of a unique bike. I agree that it looks way too tall especially when I look at xtremelows' bike, but we are glad to have another DIY-hands-on-guy (with good taste) here on the forum.

The angle is kinda weird in the picture. I'll take some better ones this weekend.
The swing arm is an Ss.
The pegs stay on and go off often. The wife likes to ride. She hasn't ridden on the bike with the new seat yet but I am sure she will be fine.

Second rider good to go on that?

We will find out!

I agree that it looks way too tall

Ill take some other pictures this weekend. I think it was just my angle

Air horn is not up and ready! Cant wait to try it out on the road!

Hey Jake!

Bike is looking great! I love that color combo. The bike looks unique, in a great way!

In regards to your GPR, I have the exact same one, and ordered mine with yours.

Not to thread jack, but are you noticing that it is awkward to steer even on 0? And is it leaking fluid or anything? Just wondering.
