My 85 AirJ700 Project

I like the way the pipes look on your bike in this pic, who makes them?

 

They're stock pipes with Harley Screamin Eagle II slip-on mufflers. I had to fab some brackets and shim where they connect to the stock pipe, but it wasn't too bad.

 

Ok cool, i dig the way that you tucked them in closer towards the bike, instead of them sticking out. Would love to here it on a video clip :idea:

 

Well considering I don't have the carbs tuned correctly yet, the vid wouldn't do it justice. The sound pretty good, but will sound better once that is takin care of.

 

Yeah it would be nice to get a pic of you on the bike, reason being, just try'in to get some idea of what a little taller guy looks like on one of thiese bikes after they've been hard tailed. I've seen atleast 2 dudes with pics of them on there bikes, but each were only 5"6 and looked like they fit on the bike pretty well. Yeah mine has been on the shelf a few months now, but planning on getting at it real soon, so far my seat has been turned into a nice solo seat, and the piece that was between the frame that locked the seat down is cut out.

I'm 6" myself and like to stretch my legs out, and with the double bucket seat that came on mine, made me feel like i was sitting on top of the tank. So im at the point were im either gonna slap a Harley sportbob fender between the frame rails, or im gonna hardtail it. I just dont want to regret going the hardtail route if the bikes gonna look to small under me.

 

street- who cares what it looks like under you as long as your comfortable and you enjoy it. Its your bike do it the way you want, piss on everyone else.

 

I here ya man, probly should have stated that i did'nt want the bike to feel small under me instead of looking small under me, because im not really worried about what others think, i just want it both ways, but am giving this process a hole lot of thought before i place one nick in the frame, because you cant get it back once you've gone to the point of no return.

 

haha i hear ya, i just went for it with no gameplan so far. I cut my frame the second day i owned the bike. to each is there own.

 

I'm 5'10" and need to take some pics anyways so I'll try to do that this week if I have time. It's not too bad, but if I was gonna keep the bike I'd probably do some highway pegs or forward controls.

 

+1 on forwards. I made my own using the stock stuff, just made a plate and bolted them to it, then welded that plate to a 1" diameter fram piece, and then welded that to the upper frame. then just lengthened the rods.

 

I got a buddy who owns a machine shop so I was gonna have him waterjet me some pretty bad ass ones, but no point sense I'm gonna sell the bike. Maybe on the next project.

 

Well, the bike is gone. Traded it for a suburban. Got a XS400 I'm gonna start on this winter.
