Is the engine in a seca different than in a maxim? The forward controls mount off of the engine mounts so I don't know why it wouldn't fit unless...
Oh yeah, I have a set as well. They ride great. Made my own linkage. He sends a parts list so you can get what ya need.

Looks fun. How does it ride?
Sure. I do.

I have a lot of respect for this build. Chadly isn't trying to fool anybody into thinking he has a sport bike. He just wants the bike to be his...
www.sudco.com might have em.
I've been riding without a front fender for a year and no issues. I never rode the bike with the fender so I have no comparison but I say go for it.
It's just exhaust header wrap in black. I found it on ebay.
I have a pic or two showing their forward controls. They really don't stick out any further than you need them to.

ebay is a great resource for that. Check it out.
Do a search for dogbone risers on ebay.
Yes! I love the pipes. Wide open or did you put a baffle in? I can't wait fr the snw to melt s I can dig my bike out and do something similar.
I saw my bike next to a house in a neighborhood that I know has a crazy home-owner association rules so I left a note on the guys door offering to...
Goo Gone also works great when you are walking across a parking lot and step in some morons gum he just ditched out the window. Cleans it right off.

Not a bad price either. Congrats.
