An ultimate seat how do you like yours Timber?

[timberghost]

i like it, its not very sporty looking and i would like to get my hands on a young guns seat. but the wifey being comfortable and keeping her happy is what matters lol. she demanded a backrest after almost falling off a couple of times and thats what she got.

[timberghost]

my bike went into storage yesterday :cry:

[timberghost]

I have torn apart the exhaust system and in the middle of making a dual exhaust system w/o using the saddlebags to support the exhaust. System will be designed to use HD slip ons for the mufflers.

[vrrmm]

I would be interested in the dual exhaust idea.

I have 1 mod for this winter, wave the money wand and presto, changeo a new bike.

[Gangster]

Bill,
I should have the first bracket (mock up only) for the right side in a week or two to support the slip-on. I am now searching the web for a reasonably priced manual pipe bender & mig welder for the pipe mods.
Once I have the easy side (right) mocked up and checked all the measurements for location which should be by xmas, I will start the left side. I figure it will take all winter but hell, it is suppose to be a long one this year. I will post pics as I go.

[timberghost]

that would be cool, duel exhuast on a VTX is even more rare then the P4 :)

[timberghost]

anyone need some iso grips with stiletto ends ? i just went a different direction and bought the barons chromed flame grips.

[Oakala]

Timber, I would be interested in taking them off your hands. But I would need to wait until after the holidays. If you still have them then, we can talk.

[timberghost]

im not sure how to get them off, the stock ones i cut off with a razer blade.

[vtxcustom03]

Filled in all the light holes in the rear fender. Its out to paint right now. Forks getting painted. Powdercoater is getting handlebars.risers,mirrors and fork tube covers. Finished the side mount plate bracket and wired that in this week. Ordered new marker lights tonight for the front and rear. Is that enough for a winter project?????????I gotta stop working on this thing LMAO

[timberghost]

im bumming, my bike got stored in a warehouse and my brother in law and his friend have a key. iv been able to work on it for 1 hour since the beginning of NOV :( and hear it is almost FEB. its sitting on a lift with the handle bars resting on the gas tank becuase my speedo housing and levers have been sent to handler. kinda hard to move it when you have no handle bars to grab on too. when they do come back, its coming home.


i bought a dremel tool to polish the fins on the motor and still have to do the fat fork kit, front and rear directionals, side mount plate, triple tree covers, push and pull cables and take off my rims to get chromed.

i got about 7 weeks becuase the last 2 years in a row iv been riding by the 3rd week of march.

[Oakala]

Timber, I am going to hold you to the 3rd week in March to be able to ride!

I am south of you, so I am actually going to shoot for the 2nd week in March
