Travis... I just cut everything but the chrome spacer off. Cut it close with a hack saw, then took it to a bench sander. It was either that or have a custom spacer machined.. You can always order one later if you want your fender back on.... which you won't....

Ok, this is probably the lamest question ever asked on this form, but what exactly is MoCo? I see it all the time. I figure it's got something to do with Manufacturer Original ?????..

my guess is motor company.
WG just took delivery of a larosa swingarm bag and man is it close to the belt and pully .
I take it theyre supossed to be that way ? going to get some rubber strips under the straps before it knaws through my swingarm paint.

Yeah, it comes really close. I've never had an issue. You have to get it really tight... like when you think you have it in the right hole, go one more... I may switch mine to Velcro Straps to make it easy to get on and off, plus won't be as bulky. Just not sure if that'll look cheezy or not...

Default Ended up going with the same rear fender...

Loved the look of the RSD and the fact that it came with actual struts for support for 2-up. Lowered the rear about 1.5" too, to close the gap. Almost done now...just waiting on my custom solo sprung seat from Shadetree. Didn't pinstripe the rear, because I plan to have all of the pinstriping removed most likely over the winter. Also gonna relocate smaller front turn signals on the forks (like the black mini bullets I got for the rear).

Another quick update...just got my new custom seat from Shadetree Fabrications. Kyle did an awesome job! I decided to go with scissor springs instead of the stock springs. Like the look much better!

Nice scoot WG. I like that you changed the bolts on the RSD struts and used those allen type. looks much better.

2xsrc, nice seat dude. It really sets that thing apart from the crowd.

I just cant get used to that area under the xbones seats.
