Good job Craig. Well executed.
Nice description at the linked page.

You and Formula inspired me to move mine.
Put my horn on the other side, tucked in under the battbox.

Formula, I do believe, hung his underneath off the rear of the tranny.
I think maybe.

Looks very clean

What's with the $ bill in the reflection ?

Yeah kiwi, that one dropped outta the sky
and I didn't notice it right away cause I was snapping the pic.

When eye spotted the damn thing,
it was hopping away, like a frog.

Tried to grab it, but it was slippery,
like, as you may know,frogskin is.

Got away, and, I couldn't believe this,
you probably won't either,
it sprouted wings, and flew off,

like the Eagle does on Friday.

Never seen anything like it,
before, or since.

RemoveableDriver's Backrest
Used a Wideglide seat since they have the slot between the two seats.I also custom shaped the seat for a better fit on my butt.


Made a bracket for the receiving end from various metals and angles I had around. It bolts underneath the seat and is invisible unless you are moving the seats apart:


Shaped the backrest using a torch and a tree to contour it. Took it to a local who upholstered it for $50:


Pot-lid Air Cleaner Cover
Pretty self explanatory:


Door Hinge Fork Bag Mount


I welded the hinge at the angleI wanted. I cut the pinned part offand welded it up solid. This could be done with other materials also, but the hinge is cheap and easy to rotate into placeto get the proper angle.


Bolted on with some fender washers so it doesn't pull through the bag. Under the triple tree there are two bolts to use to mount it on...one for the headlight and one for the brakeline.


Filled tail light hole
I had a piece of a stock fender I used to fill in the hole on another stock fender. This only works if you are putting something over the filled hole since there is no bodywork involved. I just pop-riveted in place and painted the heads black.


I've sinceput a better light on than the Diamond shaped one in the pic:

kiwi, are implying that some of those substances were boiled toads??

You are a brave man and a true survivor, I never got over those banana peels.
