it doesn't hold much gas. i am not real sure how many gallons it holds but i usually can go about 100 miles before i have to switch to reserve. i wish t would go further, but by that time i usually have to get off and stretch my back.

i made the plate to cover the battery and all the wires. the seat bolts to the plate, then the plate bolts to the bike. this gives it a nice look. i will take some pics of this setup today. i got the bike out of storage last week, go spring weather!Comment

Nice job. It's good to see other people who like to fab. I'm not as talented as you but I'm working on it. If my painting was better mine might look good too.
I've saw a lot of people flip their license plate side ways, looks great how it is just thought i'd throw it out there."The Hooligan" XJ1100, Virago Gauge Pods, Screaming Eagle Mufflers, K&N Filter, hand made rear fender, side covers, and solo seat, round bar conversion, small headlight, tail light, and cat eye turn signals, chip fuses, rewired the right way.

Why not just remove both bolts, put the center stand on the shelf in your garage, when you need it take it off the shelf, bend down, insert two bolts, stand up and lift bike onto center stand. That is what I do, takes about 30 seconds to put it on for service, the nuts aren't really needed as long as your not trying to drag the bike around on the stand. Plus if you ever go back stock you don't have a messed up centerstand to deal with.Originally posted by Tropic-al View PostHey Ralph, I had the same problem with my centerstand as it hit the muffler of my SuperTrapp and did not go up to a full retracted position. Hence, it stayed down a bit and it did not take much leaning to the left for it to scrape. A friend came up with a great idea so I could keep it. It is hard to visualize when expresed in words,....
Well, you will just have to wait for the pictures before you nail me and the idea to the cross.

I see this post is older but maybe I'll still get a reply
Did you ever take the pics of the plate that bolts to the bike frame and how the seat bolts to that? I would also like to change from my normal seat to a solo seat and want to do it without cutting and welding if possible. How'd you do it man? 
are those apes really only 12''? Look alot higher! SWEET BIKE BRO!
