Rear Brake Stay and Axle Adjuster


I think that is about it for now. Next up is getting my tail tag mounted as soon as I get it from Teach and building a battery box. I should have my seat hopefully very soon and can do some mockup shots with it too.

They do cover it, but the lower pipe does not sit directly on it. It's just high enough over it that you can get the dipstick to pull up a ways and then tilt it to get it the rest of the way out. I'm actually thinking I might put some 45 degree turnouts on the end of the pipes to keep my sissy bar from getting carbon all over it.

IMHO i think you should knock a few inches off the top pipe for the same length look, staggered would look SICK on that bike!!!

AMAZING attention to detail... this is the kinda shit im doin on my next chop... lil shit that i will be able to admire and not care if anyone notices (although on your bike who in the FUCK would miss all that cool ass shit!)

You know, I've been contemplating the staggered look for a while. I might have to photoshop that up and see what it would look like.

I totally dig details, so I drill holes in shit and whatnot. I also don't have a torch to make nice bends in things, so I have to build everything with straight stock. Thus, the cleaning up and holes to make it look nicer, etc.
