Default Fender chop, spring seat & FWD control extensions.

Started on this weekends project tonight. Got some parts from the states. A larosa spring saddle (didn't fit the larosa seat pan without modification but whatever) also the stitching on the larosa seat is way wonky so ill have to get it at least partially recovered. After taxes and everything else it just aint worth sending back

I also got some Forward Control extensions sent over from Steel smith Troy (Troy Posinski) They are 3" extensions. Hopefully ill have chance to get them fitted tomorrow they are really well made my hat is off to troy.

I also fitted some 36" drag bars yesterday because the apes wobbled at speed, wobble is gone, so is most of my fender and struts.....



Ill update tomorrow with the forward extensions on, Cheers for looking.

I'm glad to see the La Rosa mounted since I've considered one myself.
It looks rather large on there.

The bike looks great, good job!

Thank you for the kind words on the forward control extensions.
