    sorry for the delayed response.
    i'll remove the swiss army backpack (yes, it really is) and take some pics of the mount locations for the ammo cans and sissy bar. the large flat piece of metal between the 2 ammo cans that goes over the rear fender I bought from home depot and bent myself. they terminate under the cans to stop vibration or shaking. really secures them solidly.
    stay tuned pls.....

    What did you do to get stright handle bars? Did you find an adapter to put straight bars on the stock tripple tree top?

    those are one of the very few new items I put on the bike. they were purchased as new at the local salvage yard. the mount brackets I pulled of the carcass of another bike but have no idea what it was. it all bolted fine to the original mount locations.

    I really like your solo seat. Any idea what it came from originally (or maybe a brand name if not OEM)?

    I dig it, I did this to my lil cm400 then promptly blew the rings out on the right cylinder.
    So its sitting now.

    How did it hold up to the rough terrain?
    Suspension was tall enough?
