yup thats them...and the cross member right above them...if you cut that frame right behind the shock tabs..youll have room to run your fender...dunno if you are useing a glass or metal fender but run some nice stainless bolts thru those mounting tabs and then mount an L bracket on your fender and drill a hole thru that cross member and run a bolt thru it...your seat will cover it and you'll never see it. whatdya think?? If ya dont like that i have a couple more ideas but ill have to mill them over a bit looking at this.Originally posted by Ironriot View PostErrmmm I'm still lost.... And no I don't not yet anyways.

Well we've prefitted it and I think that those holes aren't gonna be anywhere close to the fender. I think struts are gonna be in orderComment

even then you could still use those...get some nice metal cut and and maybe get it chromed or black it out...then use some bushings/spacers on those holes...run your struts back your fender and voila! you could actually even use the ones below it too...i can see it...i just would have to draw it up...Comment

May I suggest MS paint lol. yeah I got some ideas about struts. But I'm looking at the frame and I'm think its gonna be to much with struts and the frame rails sticking out way back there like that. What do you think. Should I hack those frame rails? I don't think they're vital at all. Actually I think they won't even come close to the fender anyways........... **** scratch that. I just remembered something important. We prefitted the fender WITHOUT lowering the bike to the height its gonna be after I cut the coils.Comment

I gotta hit the rack broseph...gotta get an early start and i need at least 3 hours or im gonna be worthless...gota hit UPS, Find some POH acid for my tank, or buy a POR kit...try to switch this ignition over ( i still cant find my key to my old one) and the top tree clamp. Then try and finish up that tank...I got that antique brass today...its gonna look sweet! What do you think for this for a name...sort of a knock off of the old honda Black Bomber....the Brass Bomber?? No? I dunno i need a name...Comment

Brass Bombshell.... I'll hack those bastards off then lol.... eh its more of a kinda upskirt fender. Its not really low slung. I'll post a pic when the sun comes up. Laters manComment

Alright brother man here's those pics you requested
Essential just the same picComment

Dude...you can see how to do it :P use the old lines! make some struts like you said, but i think you'll have to run it INSIDE the frame...which kinda sucks....UNLESS..you chop the holy sh!t out of the rear of that thing...like as much as mine is if not more...Comment

I was thinking about using those original lines but it involves making super custom brackets. But that's alright because I found my new calling in life.... Turns out that my university offers metalworking as a degree. So I'm now going for a degree in Graphic Design and a minor in metalworking. I'll get access to all of the university's toolsOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

Sweet, ill be buggin the sh!te out of you for stuff all the time! lol
Man ive had an up and down day...Got your stuff out btw...I wasnt so worried about that key cos i was just going to replace the top tree clamp with the one off that 80...and i checked before i did it, they looked like they were exactly the same... just had an ignition switch mounted to it (with a key) so i pull my top tree apart...and the other is like a C*NT hair different. I was SOOO ****ed. i thought i was totaly F-ed. But i found my key, so that crisis averted. Now to make some damn copies of it...lol. But in my frustration, i did a bunch of ****e to the bike today, cos if i didnt have the key and i couldnt start her, then i was tearing her down for winter...fvck it i thought. I pulled the header off, which ive been putting off for ever, for fear my bolts would be stuck..they werent thank god. Dumped all the oil out of her. Smelled a touch gassy but not bad. had to REALLY smell to smell gas. I was damn near ready to yank the engine out of her and take it to the manhole when i found the key. So now i have new projects..since the header is off, and i have to take it off to change the filter, im waiting on a filter. And a baffle for my pipe...I bought a set of calipers today and re-did my float settings. 2 and 3 were WAY off...thats what i get for using a friggin ruler. No wonder i was rich on those and my fuel line kept emptying. they were off a good 3mm..not good. So since i had my header off, and i didnt feel like playing with my cafe tank anymore tonight, i wrapped my header in header wrap...looks sweet. Not only do i think it looks kool, but it will actually save my header from getting crapped out from road rot. ROCKIN. I also bought a cheapo autozone compression tester...and while i had my carbs and exhaust off, i still read even numbers across the board so thats good. Tried dickin with my timing, but it started getting dark on me, and i hadnt found that key yet so it was pointless cos i wouldnt be able to check it.Comment
