    So purchased the bike maybe 4 months ago crashed for 300 bucks. I have replaced forks, front rotors, calipers, brake lines, front wheel and all aerospace quality hardware (chrome, zinc plated), Rear brake, repaired the tank (still not done all the way buck looks presentable)

    I purchased a tail light for 20 bucks from a guy who sells them on craigslist and crafted up my own license plate holder, and now I made the seat. Its red oak that is stained a very nice shade of red. I think it turned out pretty nice. I am not yet done I still have to weld up and mount the stock rear fender for that complete look.

    Next on the list- Drill the exhaust mount bolts larger and tap for bigger bolts ( mine for some reason keep breaking ), Upgraded master cylinder, and side covers my stock ones will be going up for sale soon. [​IMG][/img][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I'm not usually into this type of mod, but this one looks damn good!

    yea I was a bit skeptical of it at first but as soon as i started it all just came together so well. I have still yet to put the rear fender on which is a short stubby style. Also some kind of end caps for the frame tubes. it will look much better as it progresses.

    I am also in the works of planning full side covers which will give it an even cleaner look
