Back in the gear speedo days I had a gear reducer on my bike, sold to me by the Dealer
Cut the speed in /12 as they had reduced the speedometer to only show up to 85 mph
Little stickers came with it for the speedometer
That did get me in trouble a few times going too fast, not with the law, just a bad road

Default Test fit new fender

New project. Test fitting the Kodlin shorty rear steel fender. Fit and finish of this product is top notch. 260 tire tucks nicely right under the fender. Obviously if I had a total loss of air pressure the tire would hit. No rubbing when suspension is aired up. Here are pictures aired up and slammed.

Default Mustang Standard touring will not work with breakout fender

Installed my Hollywood bars (pics will follow). But the Mustang seat cannot fit because of my breakout fender. At the moment I’ve got no solution. The OEM Breakout or Fat Boy Seats are still working (pic attached at last). But my Problem ist that I’ve to sit on the marked area to have a comfortable position. So it’s still ongoing…tbc

looks good. I wonder if a 240 would work well. Definitely need to post side pics with the seat on when it is done, both aired up and slammed.
I will say that your bike is an inspiration. I am way more conservative with my mods, but yours gives a good idea of the potential of the FLFBS.
I love that instead of a "frog riding a log" seating position, yours has a low sitting in the bike look. I hope to get that when all my backordered bar swap and rear lighting/plate parts get to me. I am going for more of an old school bobber look, while i see yours as a Easy Rider magazine center fold. You need to get a tastefully undressed female photographed on it.

You would have no issues with a 240, thanks definitely sits you lower in the bike. Here is a test fitment with seat.

thanks. No tank lift. I love how it can go from a solo seat bar cruiser to a semi distance long ride bike. Here is a pic with more than enough gear for 4-5 days of riding.
