I'll leave you guys with some more teaser shots!!

At the shaft I decided to cut the coilover bosses off and weld them on. Figured it would give it a little cushion.

Made a little headway this weekend...Got the main tubes for the hardtail notched and welded up. I dropped the bike until the swingarm was level with the ground. Intially I was going to run a sportster tank, but i kinda like the looks of the stocker. I was kinda thinking of attempting to dish the sides alittle. Whats everything think? Also, should i grind the welds smooth?? Or just leave them as is?

Pic's cont.

How I did mine

Brake light switch was remounted inside the frame rails by the master cylinder. I used the stock mount and just cleaned it up and rewelded it.

Thats looking good KRS.

I'm from Brazil, IN. I didnt get any sleep last night. I just layed there and thought of some kewl details to add to the bike. I was wondering what to do with the rear brake light mechanism. You say you just cut the bracket from the stock frame and welded it to your hardtail? I know i know i cut up a perfectly good bike....sorry

Mount the rear brake caliper as it was before you started bobbing it. A lot of guys like to mount it behind and under the frame if there is room. It leaves a cleaner look when youre done and doest effect the brakes ability to stop the bike.Just make sure you have the contact points for the pads the same as they were.

ddhayward312 that should look pretty cool, what type of bars are going on it?

Ya might need some of the brackets on the cut off junk. Dont throw the stuff away yet! I cut the bracket for the rear brake line off of the junk and weld it in place on my rigid. Theres some good stuff there you can re-use. What amazed me was how thin walled the stock tubing is. Cheaply manufactured forsure.

*sigh*

what town?

Yeah, that looks a lot better.

Here is a picture of the frame hacked off!! My tube should be in tomorrow so hopefully i'll have more updates...
