yeb that's why I'm asking but if 2-1 is sitting to close might not be fesible so a measurement of distance of 2-1 and carb from frame would be helpfull
Flea, I have a counter balance intake. Sorry in advance for sorta shitty pics. These are measuring off the back bone off the frame. My seat rails are different from stock but I don't thing you'd have to cut much outta the side cover to get it to fit.
thanks 8 ,will have to do some measuring ,but looks possible ,how do you find the 2-1 ,any problems ,if do it, I have a lectron to put on the bike ,what carb are you running vm34 or 36
It's a vm34, I can't honestly say as I've just finished wiring and have yet to fire it but I don't anticipate any problems. I know Wes runs a vm36 with no issues.
Thanks dude! I dont charge extra for most perfs or colors. If the stitching pattern or cover pattern is more complex I will have to adjust the price a little. Once the start getting more complicated it adds hours of extra work...
I try to use one kind of vinyl made by HON called Whisper vinyl. It is almost a faux leather vinyl and is higher quality than vinyls. I will use different vinyl for a perforated cover as its not made by that supplier. A full swatch card can be found here: http://www.hon.com/Documents/SurfaceMaterials/Whisper-Vinyl-Swatch-Card.pdf
If your planning on having your bike for a while, and the bike has a reliable dry storage MOST of the time I would go leather. Leather can hold up just as good as vinyl as long as you take care of it. Getting caught in the rain is inevitable if you actually ride quite a bit. With some leather care products you can make a leather seat uv and water resistant as long as you take care of it. Leather will add some cost too depending on what kind is used.
For a leather supplier I have been using Relicate Leather. You can find all the leather colors I can get here: http://www.relicate.com/motocuts
Sorry this was a little long winded... but might help some others get some info too!
@Ben The black bike had just some cheapo clip ons from Mikesxs i believe... I use the biltwell tracker bars quite a bit... Used them on a couple of xs's...
Haha... thanks man... @ebb0tk That seat pan was supplied by the customer... I believe he made that one out of sheet metal. Then i foamed, shaped, and covered it.
If you get a pan made to fit your bike the way you want , send it my way and i can finish it for ya!
