And last one till it's finished, so as not to bore everyone

What kind of front fender are u running, I have a old xs650 I might bob.

[kimjay]

It's the original fender that i cut down a bit. Chrome wasn't perfect so i sacrificed it.

[Mista M]

what seat foam is that? Comfy?

[kimjay]

It's a bunch of yoga mats that i spray glued and then shaped, yes it's not bad for comfort but i haven't riden on it yet so we'll find out.

Thanks, here is a few more..

Hate to say it, but the weight of that can is being carried too far forward on that bracket. The can will want to swing down all the time, especially with road bumps, and put hellish strain on the exhaust flanges.
Once they crack, it's a pita.
That lug on the rear rail directly above the can would be a perfect place for a bracket/strap taking all the weight of the can directly.

I'm pretty sure the can won't move as the attachment is welded to it, I don't think it'll be a problem. But I do see your point, which is why it was welded. If anything it'll bend the bracket I think.

[Grimly]

You'll be ok, then.

[kimjay]

It's done, sounds amazing, runs amazing and looks spectacular (partial i suppose).

[kimjay]

And another
