Street fighter/ Bobber build 2.0

Thinking of lowering foot pegs.

Thinking of lowering foot pegs.

Your build is coming along nicely . . . however . . .

IMHO and for safetys sake lowering your footrests is more of a hazard than the lowered front fender.

These bikes have trouble scraping shiny parts in the twisties with everything in top order, I hope you don't wear sandals while riding.

And speaking of the front fender, the right size rock or stick may lock that wheel on ya.

Choose your tire brand carefully going forward. Some of them will no longer fit.

Also be aware tires "grow' at speed. check to make sure tire is not rubbing your first ride. Stick a piece of masking tape on the underside of the fender. It will soon show if yours is touching after a good high speed run.

Safety First is always a good thing. Will take advise to task.

How you going to cap off your frame? Missed this question mrhammer2u....
Are referring to the two open frame under the rear blinkers? If so I am looking to install some bullet style brake lights in those holes.

Yup, that's what I was referring to. As for the front fender,...just take it off. It'a a bobber right? I have mine off and like the look. Haven't eaten any rocks,...yet

Check out these lights to plug those holes......

I might steal your idea

Mr. Hammer,

No fender, but what about a fork brace? An XS650 fork brace like this will be a perfect fit.

[mrhammer2u]

I have a tkat on mine. This looks interesting tho. I like the raw metal look too.

[Fearthepack]

I like those lights I was trying to match the turn signals a little more closely. Would luv the no fender, luv the look but with Florida rain and Fnnnn sprinkler systems soaking the roads I can't see fender-less.

[Fearthepack]

maximphil, I will just tape some washers(stacked) on the wheel and spin it around to get my clearance on the fender.

[mrhammer2u]

Change the turn signals,....like these...

I wish I had the time and money to build another bike so I'm just going to build yours,....ok???? LOL

[Fearthepack]

Damn those are cool as well.

OK lets hide the battery and wires. Plan goes like this:
1. use plastic inner fender stock as is.
2. lower battery tray to clear seat.
3. re-purpose chrome rear fender.
4. make some side covers.
5. make front cover ( engine side).
