Nothing under the fender bob except air and tire. The underneath of the rear fender is black Rhino lining. The brake lights are on the side mount license plate and the turn signals. We're not done, yet. I'm considering lowering shocks. And, I still have not replaced the speedo.

I built them with some help form a friend of mine. They are pipe stock with a bracket welded on to mount at the center stand brackets. I had them chromed locally. No baffles, just straight pipes. Loud as ******

thanks...had a lot of ideas for this one...but...enjoy it to much to add the other changes...still adding mono shock w/the spring seat...

I am starting on the second one next month and adding the extended swing arm with air ride air bag, custom Springer front (already ordered) with additional rake, 300 rear tire...this America will be out there

Pm me Lori and I will talk you thru it...I will be building mono mount adjustable hardtail and mono shock swing arms for sale
If you just want to lower it...you can do that with shorter shocks depending on how low you want to go...

I agree, nice bike (is that a smaller headlight too?)

Where did you get your fork gaiters? (who makes them?)

I believe they're fairly common. I think I got mine from newspeedmaster.com, but I think bellacorse.com and fasteddysports.com all have them. Maybe British-customs.com, too.

Bonedaddy, What model of Vance & Hines Slip-ons did you use? It sounds like they are really loud when the baffles are removed. What did the bike sound like before you pulled out the baffles? Have you noticed any performance gain/loss, or just more noise? The bike is looking great, and I like the look of slip ons a lot!

Thanks, actually have to do a few update pics...I didn't see any gain/loss with the baffles in or out...the baffles in sounded good but not enough bark for me...I will look up the model of the slip ons for you...been a while sense they were bought...

Calling all bobbers... so, I've been messing with my '02 BA, attempting to bob it out (or at least my definition of a bobber lol ) I have the plate and directional attached to my custom seat and mounted a support bracket under the rear of the seat. Any ideas on where/how to mount my rear brake light?
Can't get a picture to post, so here is my facebook page link with some pictures of the back end of the bike.

I would start by mounting a rear fender to your swingarm? No fender on our bikes just doesn't work for me and the back of your jacket gets all funky, pretty quick too.
