I've just bought these from AliExpress (arrived this week) with the intention of, not using them for what they are designed for but, customising them, using a concho, stud and rivet craft kit, to look like a western saddle.


Watch this space!

 

Ride 'em cowboy! Giddy up!

 

Western theme is coming along...

 

Fitted the tool roll and rear rack


There's actually a metal supporting plate inside the tool roll.


As it stands at the moment

...few other bits to do (Seat and Rider backrest).

If you are wondering why I'm doing this Western theme, well, over the UK August Bank Holiday, there's a Wild West theme Classic, Custom and American show that I want to go to.
Also, all the items fitted are very easy to remove/swap over so that I can TRANSFORMer into a different themed bike.

 

Do you have a link for that luggage rack?

Ok, I finally managed to finish and mount the rear fender and put on the new custom seat. I'm not 100% happy with the paint job but for now it's good enough so I can still ride the bike this "summer". I want to tackle a few things this winter
and then I'll also apply a few extra layers of clearcoat to the fender.

Currently I have the airride limited that this is the lowest position, as it is now in the pictures. On my Breakout it was lower but regularly had damage to the backside from stones and because of that I wanted to give a bit more space between
tire and fender so I don't have to keep touching up the paintwork

 

 

Thanks, I took another with a nicer background .. ,







... now I'm still hesitating to make the front gloss black or not, I don't want to make a complete blackout because I still have 3 other completely black ones.

 

It looks pretty damn great just the way it is IMO.
