The spring has almost begun, so I put my bike out for a ride and made some pics I want to share.

I'd like to do the same fender and seat setup on my slim but I don't know where to get the parts I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was also wondering where you relocated your ECU.
Thanks!

Jesus...yeah SPLATTTTTT...that little recess right against the tire is where he stuck the ECU. He probably used some spray foam to seal it up realz good so the tire wont rub the ECU.
Kent, I would guess that he either mounted it to the back of the splash guard somehow or is using a smaller battery and has stashed it in the battery box. Now as far as getting parts...when I bought my Slim in '12 I saw his bike on here and HAD to have that fender. I emailed him and offered to purchase one from him, no response. If someone would perfect and sell that, they would make a million. His work is top notch and beautiful. Don't get sucked into the Shadetree or Lucky Sucker stuff. Not saying a skilled builder couldn't turn it into something nice, but the general consensus is it takes tons of man hours to make it build worthy.
If you do Pinstriping, can you send me a PM? Considering having some done and I don't want to go the sticker route.

Hehheehh - yeah, I hear ya. As for parts for Kent, in his pictures, the
"battery cover" appears to be from Shadetree. It "might" allow you
to just fold-over your ECU on top of the battery since its appears to be
"raised" a bit above the battery....

As for me, I wanted a 'flat' to the frame cover, so in addition to
using a small Lithium battery, I also relocated the ECM to the same
compartment as the BCM. I had the fender hole welded up as well.
Here's a few pics (sorry if y'all have seen 'em before)
It's not perfect by any means, but it does ok for now....
good luck,
T.
