Took my bike out of town for the first time since it got totalled and i rebuilt it in style. It ran like a champ! I needed a sissy bar for luggage, and the prototype I designed and used for welding practice had to do. Boy was it terrible! Way too tall and it bounced! It held up until the very end of my ride, and completely disinterested. It was at a small custom bike and van / rock festival so everyone loved it.
It was designed to hold my violin case, hence the scroll.
Bad design, poorly executed, non-functional, dumb. Definitely fun and silly for a music festival. But dumb.

I also installed my electronics cover. It will work better with the mini battery I have, but I don't want to mess with my setup yet while it's ripping. I like it but it's dumb.

I'm making a new sissy bar, using mounts fromy harley so it can be removable.
