If you're really good, only the rear knobby would be touching Big Grin

What's with that rear brake hose? Looks like some home-made bodge, except it's from the factory.

I have to agree with PD. It’s like they said “hey, we forgot the brake line, do one quick”. Big Grin

I saw desert sled...and honestly after the last 15-20 years of 'customs' and craigslist junk wannabe...I wasn't expecting much...

It is indeed beautiful! Very well done.

The only thing that jumped out at me was indeed the exhaust- which I thought 'can't be much deadening in there'...but sure enough the builder admits it is loud in the article.

Other than that- those same pipes are awfully close to the side panel and will probably make quick work of it.

Still- good job! Love it.

Yep. Your pillion catches the heel of her boot on it...

Then again, who uses the rear brake anyways...Tongue
