    This is my first attempt to breath some new life in an old bike. I've been lurking around this site for quit a while now and I have learned a lot of different tricks from you all. I'm not yet done but I hope to be soon. I'll have some parts left over that I've taken off and don't plan to use. I'll get a list made up in case someone is looking for something I have.

    Nice job so far. I guess your going with pods, if you are, you'll want to keep the airbox boots and use them as velocity stacks for the pods. They work better that way.
    Is the Imperial your next project?

    I usually don't like choppers or bobbers and they mostly don't look rideable, but I like what you did with your bike. Shocks make more sens than hardtails IMO.

    It looks good to me and you should be able to ride it more than 20 miles at a time!

    I suppose you plan to paint that front fender black also (or powder coat)?

    Where did you end up getting your rear fender from? It is loooking sweet though. I like it.

    The Imperial is my daily driver in the summer time.

    The front fender may or may not go black, I haven't decided yet.

    The rear fender is a trailer fender from Tractor Supply.

    What ideas do you have for the seat? I thought that was a Tractor Supply fender, I almost used the same fender on my build.
