    I've done some modifications on my bike over the last few months, thought I'd share some pics. Went from pods to a pvc intake, upgraded from a junction box to an ammo can for electronics, added some bullet proof signal/running lights, and put on a stock sport muffler

    The first pic is the first version, everything after is how she sits now.

    ^Used an aircraft style sitch (plus another hidden swtich...) instead of having a key.

    Running 114 mains with 40 pilots and its perfectly tuned.

    Your bike looks great! I just started hacking on my frame today, if it looks half as good as yours, I'll be tickled......

    bad ass dude. i have to ask, to put a seat and rear fender on like that is fram mod or fabrication neccessary?

    ok the more i look i guess i could say/see, the frame was cut at the shockmount to make it shorter, the side cover holding holes were cut off and battery mounts, and brackets welded on to support the seat. Am I close? is the rear fender a universal thing? don't want to steal your secrets, i'm just curious and understand if you don't want to write it.

    I welded those two top brackets for the seat mounts, and attached the fender to the rear one. The bottom of the fender attaches to the battery box bracket.

    Looks great. I think I'm going to have to swing by a surplus store in the near future to see if I can track down some ammo cans :D
