Grandma Wells liked it. My plans for a pipe are hollowed out cat,polish the stock header pipes then make a slip on to make it look like the Kerker header on my old 750.

The rears been lowered a about 4 inches with custom made RACETECH shocks.

That's some smooth metal work! And quite a tuck on that wheel. The newly shaped taillight housing is a good match for that fender. It goes together nicely from a visual standpoint.

I still need the reshape the radius a little towards the front and thinking about making a fiberglass extension to bring to front of the fender down about 6 inches.

Front fender,surprised it went on as easy as it did. Just need to finalize the brackets.

RE: Finally making some progress............. - the Ferret - 07-15-2021

That's a good looking fender

RE: Finally making some progress............. - jedd_imp - 07-17-2021

that front fender does look good....reminds me of the one on my former '83 cb1100f w/ that upswept air foil to kick air onto the oil cooler.

Agree with posts #17 & 18

That's where it's from,I've had it for years saving it for a future project.
