    would like to thank evryone here.

God you guys are great..... If I can ever get some cash around I definatly will donate to this great site. Thanks again RON. I hope images are there.

    Congrats!! This site has been a god send to all that find it I believe.

    You certainly created a unique exhaust system there. Although I am not fond of the frame cutting stuff, that seat looks very nice!!!

    Good job on the bike, hope it brings you many miles of happiness.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        I took the turn outs off and welded the pipes you see there to the head pipe. Like the added rain flaps? they sound really cool at idle and are load as s@#$ cruising. I really need to baffle them, they are a bit much at 2AM going home from work, needless to say what my neighbors think.

            too tall! Its really tuff finding something to fit and be cumffy on for long spells. I like the crusers, short stints are for the bobbers I put together. Guess just tryin not to get old, I like to be seen and heard. cant miss me on this XS. I would really like to put forward controls on but cant afford em right now.

                    I think he needs the apes!! His shoulders are above my head.

                    As to forward controls. Somewhere on here is a thread by TC (Topcat) where he made some forward controls from common hardware parts. Look and work pretty cool!! You might try looking that up and see what you think.

                        If I helped that's great. That sucks about the price. They usually bring some cash. I don't think anyone has any money these days. I'm afaid to list my orange bike, and I'm ready to sell it.

                            12 inch

                            They are 12" mini apes picked up off ebay $42.00. This is my son, he is maybe 5'6" The only change was an 10" extension on the top brake line. Everything else I had just enough to instal without modifing.
