Oh yea!! That is smooooooth. Love the turn signals too, are ya gonna tip us off as to where to get that stuff, or leave us in suspense?

Looks great either way, wouldn't mind doing the turns to mine... how did you get it to work with the sporty?

Way to custom that bad bike!

thats cool i like the way it matches the curve of the wheel, need some of those chrome zipers for the wires tho

Paulie, made an adapter at work and covered it with a chrome softail swingarm pivot cover. Parts were my x-mas present didn't ask for origin. 45 yes need some chrome zip ties, and thanks for noticing LOL.

Looks slick as hell. I like it... What rear fender you running?

there's a half-moon on the swingarm with a bolt through it. That's where the lower half of the shock bolts to on mine...where is yours bolted to? did you modify that, too? "lowering blocks"?
Also the lic plate bracket looks to be mounted to the axle. did you have to get a longer axle to accomodate or is that the part that you made at work?


I made my own side lic plate mount recently, and am sort of comparing mounting details...if you don't mind.

Awesome mount. Love the slick fender.

Nice work! Love it. (That rear fender is so shiny in the 1st pic it looks like that tree is painted right on it!)

Thanks Deb and Mac. Engine, yes the bike has a lowering kit and the plate mounts to the axle. The axle nut I made is recessed into the plate mount and instead of a cotter pin I used a set screw that is drill pointed into the axle end. I made the nut head bigger so I could use the swingarm pivot cover to hide the nut.

nice job Scott !!!

Lookin good Scotty!!!

Rob, and Greg, thanks for your comments.

Man, that is one nice hunka metal! The bike looks fantastic!

Good job!:banana

Nice custom work :smoke

Thanks SG and Deadeye

The whole rear end is super clean, good job man! It's a nice feeling to know you done it right and and the bike next to you at the redlight is not gonna clone.

Hoosier, that side mount looks really freakin nice.:D job well done.

Your bike has the total package of what a custom sporty should look like, keep up the
good work for one of the best looking here on the forum.

BTW- all the bike needs is a custom hand tooled solo seat with a really
cool design to sit your ass on. The solos rock and give the bike a whole new look.;)

Wow!! Love the look!! Great job!!

Looks real trick. I have the same marker lights on mine.

Bill2, Calsport05, and Salrosa thanks for the compliments much appreciated.


X, you are bound to sell me on the solo aren't you? Thank you X for the compliments your bike continues to be one of my favs.

More or less determined to convert you over to a solo seat. LOL :tour
Your bike still looks great BTW keep it up.

I'll ask again for everyone, what rear fender are you running??

The bike looks awsome, clean, and mean :smoke :smoke :smoke

The rear fender is an aftermarket Heritage rear fender that has been cut down. The fender has no lines on the side which is what made me choose this fender, smooth with no roll lines. Thanks for all the great compliments. :tour

How? do i drain my gas tank?

Don't even start Jam.
