Cool man, she's got a hot lil ass on her now ! :cougar:

thanks guys, I'm really happy with how it turned out. lots more storage than I had before. we were gonna build a rack for the back even, but I don't think I'm gonna need it. cooler fits perfect, room for tools, and I think I've even got room to get my bazooka speaker in there.

sits about 2inches lower in the back than it did before.

gotta work on a few details, mostly getting some panels put on it. still gotta pickup some 2inch travel bumps for the front.

sounds like a plan! hopefully next time I can spend more time riding, and less time putting coolant into my junk.

kinda sorta got panels mocked up for driver side. gonna split it up in either 2 or 3 panels

any suggestions on thickness of material to use. pretty sure I wanna do aluminum? preferences on attaching the panels, tabs or just riveted to tubework??

Make or buy some tabs for sure. I made my own. They are not the nicest in the world, but I tapped all of them, and used small hex bolts. I also used 20 gage aluminum. I think it's ok, but it is really easy to screw up. Running them on the sides like that, there gonna get beat on, so I would use a thicker material. :dblthumb:
