Modifying frame

[ricoc]

I run a mod frame too. The rear shocks were replaced by a mono from something else. Sorry when I bought the frame the shock was on it I don't know what it came from. Pretty cool though. With the shock laying right where the battery and air box was, the seat came down along way. Now I run the 16 with a sportster fender mounted to the swingarm. The mono is air over coil which makes it adjustable. Sorry no pictures yet.

Be Nice

Mitch, be nice. It could very well be true. I have seen photos of some XS"s in Europe with mono rear shocks and inverted front forks. They are out there.

I have two 6vdc batts, one on each side of the shock. Its not enough for more than one start a day, thats why I'm running a kick. But The batteries were only $12 a piece so what can I expect. The black box is under the seat and the rest of the wiring I stuffed under the tank. It's a mean looking jolopy! Everyone calls it the Bulldog because I refuse to run a teardrop tank, so the std one looks huge. Picts one day.

What do teardrops and Harleys have in common?

I sent a finished pict to the pictures under customs but no one replied or posted it.

Ricoc - the image tags will only work for an image that is already stored somewhere on the internet, somewhere like an Imagestation page, or perhaps on your own personal web space if your ISP gives you any free space. It will not work if you are only linking to an image on your hard drive. If you have trouble with that, send me an email with your image attached to the e-mail listed at the bottom of my personal webpage and I'll see what I can do.
