So here it is. I had it all set and ready in black (I'll have to upload pictures off my phone) and I sanded through on the bottom of the tank. At the time it was low 40's and to keep my garage at that I us 2 gallons of kerosene a night easy. I said F-it, found a guy to do it really... really... cheap he fixed it up and added some silver flake and blue pear to the clear. Without the sun its harder to tell.

Here she is

SmokenJOE, I'm pretty sure that's the light you bought and were selling... I liked the way it turned out. I made the bracket easliy out of 3/8 steel. It is sturdy as ****...

The saddle bag brackets are also made. I used the passenger peg mount and bent and mounted steel rods to the contour I wanted. I had to get new bolts with an actual hex head and a collar to hold them, the allen bolts just wouldn't get tight enough.

I also have the PCV with autotune mounted under the seat. I have the PCS lowering link at 2.25 down.

To get the front fender to sit right, I made the holes on the left side (if riding) 1/2" to give me play. This allowed me to get the fender not to rub and centered.

I'm still finishing my solo seat up, with a new pan (I'm still building it) and padding.

I got to put almost 200 miles on it today and yesterday... sorry I didn't get pictures up! IT is WARM AS **** HERE!! I'll post more later

Fantastic job jester............really good lookin bike and well laid out. That front fender really looks good and flows well. Paint looks really good. Nice job! 8)

Yes that looks like the same light I am selling. Really fits nicely. Doesn't stick out to far. Nice design for the bracket.
Get a chance post up some pics of bracket and hole dimensions. I am going to need one soon for the new one I bought.

Excellent Job Jester!! Really Good Looking Bike. Well planned out!!

Dude, that cut on the front fender looks badass. Nice job.

 

[strykenshane]

well done jester, well done! I have been wondering how my bike might look with bags and the L&M fender, unfortunately I am am a mechanical dumbass so I'll have to find somebody that wants to undertake this endeavor, again very nice!

 

[safetydanny]

Very nice job Jester! Very nice attention to detail! Congrats on job well done!!!! Very beautiful bike!!! ;D

 

[middleagecrisis]

Don't lie to yourself Jester. You know you can't quit! ;D

 

[jester624]

Thanks for all the feed back guys. I should have some fuel maps up soon, and a few more pictures. I also might get the HID kit and and definitely getting a Stebel air horn.

Smokenjoe as for the bracket the rear of it is exact same as the stock, I then made a mark where I wanted the point of it to be based on a measurement I made holding the light. I traced it all out and hit it with a cutting torch.

 

[SmokenJoe]

Got it, thanks Jester

Very nice man!! I'm feelin those grips....and the led strip tail light. I'm so wanting to do that to mine but just a lil nervous about the daylight visibility of the brake light

 

[Raven]

Looking good man.

 

[Natedog]

I like the "midnight blue" effect from the blue clearcoat.

Very nice man!! I'm feelin those grips....and the led strip tail light. I'm so wanting to do that to mine but just a lil nervous about the daylight visibility of the brake light

is that the L&M kit?

well done jester, well done! I have been wondering how my bike might look with bags and the L&M fender, unfortunately I am am a mechanical dumbass so I'll have to find somebody that wants to undertake this endeavor, again very nice!

The nice part about not already having holes there is that you can put any setup on that you want...

 

[jester624]

Yup I can take the bags off easy enough. I never have a passenger so I don't really see a use for my pegs. My double seat will really only be just in case (im leaving the brackets for the passenger pegs), and long trips to hold a bag or 10.

Here are few more with a close up of the bracket for you Smokenjoe. I also added one of how I routed the wires using the stock turn signal mounting holes just to cover them.

Autotune and PCV

 

[UrbanRage]

WOW! Great job, that front fender is awesome! Could you please take a couple distnace shots so I can see how the bags look? I have been wanting some, but haven't really found any that I like. For the close up shots the ones you have look like they flow with the bike.

 

[jester624]

This is the best I can get for now, raining a bit here. My solo seat prototype in-progress is the seat you see.

 

[SmokenJoe]

Thank you. Great fabbing job Bro. Shows some real talent.
