I'm not sure but I really like it! My guess would be its mounted to the center of the swingarm and somewhere under the seat... Iv seen a few of these extended swing arms...I really like that look!

just check chromeglow for the signal light. they r selling at an amazingly price of 92.02 not including shipping for just 1 strip of signal. wonder how much they earn!
i can get a red strip for 5 bucks and another 2 amber strip for another 5 buck and glue them together......sure work just as good..
but no offense to flatiron, your bike is still sooooo nice~!

Man it seems like nobody reads any of the description I post with the pics. (no offense to you I have just had a lot of questions from people where the info is posted) I can try and take better photos of how the fender was cut. And for the struts I had my friend make them for me, I knew what I wanted and just had him make it. If you look in the 3rd pic in the post you can see how the fender was cut
by the way, can u ask ur friend to make the Thin struts? i want to buy a pair from him .....
thanks !

There is actually 2 of them on chrome glow. I bought the $50 one. The difference is the $90 one is the whole thing is the running light rather than just the center and it includes the running light circuit. I had to pay an extra $5 for the running light circuit. In all honesty I thought the same thing as you, but this thing is real nice, it's a sealed plastic tube that is waterproof and when you hear it up with a heat gum you can mold the light to the shape you want. I felt it was a little over priced at $50 but well worth it cause if I made one it would not have been as clean and easy to install.
As for the shocks, they are just stock shocks... I didn't cut anything down. That was the point of the fender struts. This way I can slam the fender and still have good travel on the shocks. I actually wanted him to make my struts with one end threaded so I can adjust the height when I get new tires and shocks. Just ran out of time so I was gonna get it taken care of when that time came.

Looks like that one is actually still mounted direct to the frame. They probably just used a super stiff set of shocks with hardley any travel and just hope nothing contacts. Also note that the rear section of that frame has been reworked and uses an aftermarket oil bag as opposed to the stocker.
