So my brother-in-laws bike is now all back together. Winter updates were as follows:
Tail section/seat from Trans-moto.com
Zippers Chain Conversion
Chainsickles rear sets (new style)
Brass gas cap (from ebay)
VROD Muscle Rear Shocks (13.5" stock, these will be replaced once funds allow, too stiff)
Clipons etc were all done last winter.

Nice job!

Suggestion: go over the silver pinstriping in that copper color and hit the tail fairing too, to bring it together.

That's a beautifully done bike, for sure. Congratulations on a job well done.

What type of chain lube are you using? My PJ1 would be all over the place and make a sticky mess without the chainguard.

Controls were around $440 shipped. The bike was knocked over in a parking lot once a few years back.

beautiful bike, looks great.

I noticed the rear master cylinder was moved over to the other side, what was the reason for that?

Is converting to chain drive strictly a looks thing, or is there something about the function of it? My sportster is the first belt drive bike I have owned.

Chain drive was done for looks. Also, the rear master cylinder was moved due to the rear sets. As for the plate, most sportbike guys around here have theirs like that. If he gets a few tickets, we will move it.
