started life as a stock vlx i picked up for $1,000. It was a bank repo. So i cut all the dumb shit off and made it a rigid and fiberglassed the frame smooth. got a trailer fender from the local farm store and painted it recently. Still have to make sidecovers tho. i made the seat from flat steel and old cowboy boot leather.

The bike is tits , those 600s have so much bob potential . Imo the exhaust ends are all crazy , going in different directions , I know people on here by some JC Whitney slip ons that slide on real clean , or any auto part store ends would work. I dont mean to criticize, but I get shit for whats on my bike ,lol.

i havent dot that far yet got to weld on tabs for the back pegs and the exhaust is only temporary till i can afford some sweet fish tails that go up and add a sissy bar. . .its a work in progress little by little

That thing is a support brace IMO. Like kids, those things don't suppot themselves.
