Just removing the factory air boxes made a huge difference imo. I plan to remove the chrome mufflers and replace them with larger cherry bombs like the an-bu build.
Here is the beginning of my build. Im still using the factory seat rail location. I plan to relocate the battery under the frame and push the rear of the seat rails down a bit to lower the seat.
I just finished welding on my brat kit from Monster Craftsman. It took quite a bit more effort than the video boasts, but it does look really nice. The bike is currently at the strip joint down the street getting blast, will post pics as the build progresses.
John told me they have had a few issues like what I've encountered, but really if you are patient you can work with it. Not a complaint, it turned out looking cool, just wanted to let anyone considering this product know that it may take a little work and not to be discouraged if its not as simple as the video shows.
jesus...basically it did not fit up as nicely as the video had shown. Where the tubes met at the top where they weld to the gusset they were welded a bit uneven. Hope this clears things up a bit.
Maybe Jon might sells an unwelded kit like Visual Impact do! I'll throw 100$ for it!
