  • Frankenstein and SWMBO's Rear end

    Ok so here's Frankenstein so far.



    The only thing I really don't like is the big open spot in the back.






    Any Ideas on how to cover this thing up? The fender is 80g, the seat is 81 sh.

    By the way, I rode in to work today. These things are awsome! Freeway speeds in 3rd gear! SO COOL!

    Bob the fender (from the top) moving the tail-light and license plate up there...or...one of those curved taillights off a sport bike in there....

      Why not install the rear alum grab bar off of a special.I have one that has the tailight assembly mounted into it . Will have the tailight sitting below the seat,It is a standard tailight assembly bolts to the frame of the alum grabar. Send me a PM if interested, andreas

        Tail light

        If I did that what would I do to the tail light and fender that are on now? I want as little paint work as possible. Would a grab bar and a reflector or a badge or something look ok?

          Geez, you had me worried there for a minute. From your title, I was afraid you were going to tell us the only thing so that will cover up that spot is SWM BO's rear end

            SWMBO

            LOL! Actually I thought that if I left it alone, it won't matter when SWMBO is riding because the cages will be distracted by her rear end.

                "What a disappointment."

                I thought this was a joke thread....
                "What's ugly and scarey to look at...?"
                How disappointing for me.
                So I start reading.... and see pictures coming up.
                "OK.. pictures of his bike first, and then a shot or two of...."

                How disappointing for me.

                    Hey Cloerts,

                    IF you do the LED conversion, you would leave both sets of lights, more visibility, their combined drain in LED format is less than 1 standard bulb, there are 2 bulbs in each light housing.

                    Go look at the photos section at the 80 or 81 specials, you'll see examples of the grab bar and lights.

                          Hey I got your attention right? Unfortunately SWMBO has commanded that no pictures of her in any format ever be posted anywhere at any time. So it is written, so it shall be done.

                              Oh yeah!

                              The special grab bar and an LED conversion on a second tail light! That would be SWEET!

                              The cages might see you then!
