I'm turning my bike into a bobber style. This weekend I started strippign it down and was able to sell the stock seat on ebay and order a new one.

Here are some pics as it sits right now:

New seat is on and all the wiring is done and the run signals have been relocated. I'm about 1/3 done making the brake light bracket but have to wait until the new light arrives to finish it.

Me too! LOL Fender is supposed to be here tomorrow so I'll most likely get it test fitted tomorrow night and I need to take the headlight off and get that on ebay and get a smaller one.

Here is the license plate / tail light bracket I made (below). Next I'm going to attempt to cut my pipes down so they are not sticking a foot past the rear tire any more.

Here is the bike now. I made some custom exhaust pipes out of the old pipes, really hacked them up and installed 4" baffles to quiet it some. then heat wrapped them. I also removed the tank emblems. The rear fender is getting painted this week.

And here is a super crappy video of the exhaust. Once we get Windows 7 in and I get to the new Movie Maker I should be able to do a better quality video.
