Raider Rider/xs newbie
Yeah, I'm not liking the forwards but the wife demanded it...its her bike. I don't think there are rules for bratstyle other than bending/modding the seat rails in some way more than just hacking them off behind the shock.
I really wanted to go with the visual impact kit, and talked to them about it but I could get the deeper bends my wife wanted. She really wanted to sit in the bike rather than on it and she wanted a really low seat. I think we're sitting at 24". The bike weighs in at about 380lbs and if I include the riders weight, her bike with her on it has the same power to weight ratio as my 1900cc Raider with me on it. I never expected this xs to be as fast as it is. I'll also say that its probably more fun to ride than my raider because its so nimble.
Here's a closeup of the lockhart Phillips mirrored signals.
Basically I just made a L-bracket that mounts to the upper rear shock bolt and the other side is shaped like the signal. Here's the signals http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/store/product.php?productid=17460&cat=&page=1
I've got 38 miles on the bike. Want to get 400 on it, to shake out the bugs before I let the wife ride it. I finished it about a month ago but then moved to Louisiana and had to deal with a Hurricane. Haven't had much chance to ride.
