That is beautiful... GET OUTA MY HEAD?!?!

Great minds thing alike? I made this last weekend.


dash


Mine is still roughed out. Made by hand.. yours is CNC? I am debating between brushed finish or machine turned for a hot rod feel. ; ) Probably brushed.

Very nice work sir!

I was so friggin proud of mine until I saw yours. The lack of an ignition switch really lets ya snug the gauges tighter. Hmmmm.

How much to make me one sir???

Don't know, mine is a prototype. I can probably get a price for you.

Yeah, I moved my switch to the 97-98 location on the left side choke bracket to clean up the wiring rat's nest. I also wanted to make the front as compact as possible. It's easier to hide uglies under the tank.

Yeah, it's billet CNC'd.

Been thinking about this for about a year and was finally able to flesh out what I wanted and have it cut. Hope to mount it this weekend.

It looks nice. If they already have it plotted out I would like to think another run wouldn't be too spendy. Will you clear the front brake reservoir? looks like it will be tight.

Please get me a price if your machinist would be willing to make another. I am very interested. I'd love to see yours mounted up as well.

Brake master isn't even close. Your bars must be shorter than mine.


Genetics? : D

Here I am paying you a compliment and you are going to make fun of my short comings?!? You ft_bstrd you!!

Truth be told I drilled the alignment the hole for the throttle a bit short and decided I liked the feel better. I Little less than half inch short. Luckily I didn't cut the ends off yet.

Did you recess the mount areas? I had to trim my gaskets and modify the indicator.

I seriously want one. Let me know!

ah, I see it now. I've heard of the company, but without knowing who made that part it just looked like it said B4. But now that I'm looking at it I can vaguely make out B2R

either a bar end, or nothin...(my vote but you know me!)

i suppose maybe something along the lines of the aprilia tuono ones that worked on the xb's wouldnt be bad either, kind of lower and a little sleeker.

Yeah, I really like at least having that left side mirror. My stumpy, no neck having self can't get my head turned around to see what's behind me.

I can't do the bar ends because I have bar end signal lamps that take up that space.

I would have two mirrors, but I snapped the right side off in the master when I tried to spin it off. Steel and aluminum don't mix. : |

The two lights are H-D idiot lights. The one is the neutral light, the other an oil light. The square thing is a Sigma bicycle speedometer with a battery powered LED lamp that I converted to 12V bike harness power. The switch is my run/stop switch. The tach is a Koso GP unit.

I wanted the bike to be as simple as possible in regards to electrics. It has a headlight, tail light (with front brake switch), mechanical advance ignition, rev limiter, a solenoid starter switch, and a fully intact charging system. All other circuits, relays, switches, diodes, and sensors have been removed.

Ft_bstrd, that is a good looking set-up.

I bought some mirror relocators off ebay awhile back. They lay the mirrors down closer to the bars. I think it looks alot better.

They make bar end mirrors that work with bar end lights there is an adapter that goes between the signal and bar that it clamps too. Don't have the link but have seen them
