What brand tyre and size is that rear?

100/90/19

 

[jdizon]

Pics of modified swingarm/brace and decided to run the front fender out back. Think the lines of the new fender suit the bike better

That looks cool!
On the gps I'm leaning on this one it might be a bit to large
It's for a boat so a mount is needed but it is rugged,water proof and the price is good too

Careful about getting any gasoline fumes around that water heater. Gasoline fumes are heavier than air and lay around on the floor about where the pilot light or ignitor live. Just a reminder.

Great use of a washing machine and dryer. Multi-tasking at its best.

Put mounts on the battery box for the Reg/Rec.

 

[jdizon]

Since my bike is lowered 3-4" Decided to take a 1/2" out of the kickstand. I originally had it bent slightly but I wanted to do things proper.

I only wear gloves when I am doing long welds (seldom), and latex ones when messing with paint otherwize NEVER... my wife say my hands are hard and man-ly. Good enough for me.

 

[jdizon]

Mocked up new fender and visualizing rear 19'' rims.

 

[Johnt3]

Put mounts on the battery box for the Reg/Rec.

if I have to run a full size battery thats how I was thinking of mounting it, but I'm a little concerned about vibration.

 

[jdizon]

It's a evo 2 8 cell ballistic battery.

The battery can be mounted in any direction and there are no worries about lead plates cracking from vibration. battery faq here

It's actually a lot smaller than it looks in the picture.

 

[I am Carbon]

yep Im down with that!
I'm using shori brand.
Thats why my battery box is sideways.
I was kinda surprised that no one asked me about my leaning battery box.
And j I really like the look You have!
SWEET!
and You can get a better choice of tires too

 

[Tron]

Are you running a starter? Seems like a huge battery..

Anywho..subscribed! You just cant leave this thing alone can you

Thanks man! Shorai's are awesome batteries.. I opted for the 8-cell because I needed more CCA for the electric start.

Speaking of tires this is what I plan to run. It's the widest tire for 19"s I could find.

Avon Distanzias.
