why take the "tank" pieces off? heavy? just didn't like the look?
i bet you like the regular springer better than the bent one. i hate those things.
i just brought some tall ape hangers a few months back but haven't tried them on a bike. i have the half moon type on all my stretches, either a few i brought or extending regular ones.
The "tank" Pieces was some heavy diamond plate (6.4lbs) that was welded in..a lot less weight now. If it was something more than eye sore I would have left it in. Depending how the frame looked after crudely cutting it out was going to determine if I was going to put in a lighter metal take to cover the "oops" Came out better than expected thank god! My new handle bars (5" rise) and the Black wheels will be in tomorrow so the build is almost ready to start.
Nine more days to get the frame back and will be riding an hour later. As for the forks I wanted to stay with more of the original look, the stance should be where I want it.
