UKNightster, I really like the looks of your bike. What tires are those? They look great with your bike.

Thanks man, appreciate that.

The tires are Shinko 270 super classics. They are really nice, no complaints with them.

Did this last weekend...

But, added Hollywood bars (The wife wanted to sit a touch further back)





Took a little playing to get the angle correct on the cross brace and the speedo/idiot lights.




Stock compared to the Hollywoods

I'm digging it too. Where does it attach to the swing arm? The bottom bracket looks too small for the axle.

I did it was quite a process. I milled blocks of aluminum so the shock mount bolts would sit in then perfectly and prevent the struts from moving. 3/8ths aluminum rod from lowes was anodized to match my tank perfectly then just drilled blocks and put set screws through them. The brass clamps I had made by an actual machinist. I went through maybe 10 rods trying to bend them perfect now it's a nice solid unit

I like the fender alot. I have the same bars in mine an really like the speedo relocation. I like how it draws your eyes to the bars and headlight. Sweet scooter.
