My plans are nothing drastic,back when I was a kid the style of bike that was popular was a big Japanese 4 cylinder,lowered in the back with a nice meaty rear tire,Kerker header,short bars etc. My bike is a 2014 Standard,no frame modifications or anything over the top,just a nice comfortable cruiser. Other modifications in store,make my own slipon muffler,repaint all the black engine covers in my secret textured finish put a mini fairing on it if I can find one I like and paint the bike 1986 Corvette Medium Brown Metallic and a seat from a 2017 RS I’d it will fit on the bike. I’ve got a 1981 750K that I’ve had since new,a major project I’ve been working on for years,a lot of the things I’m building into that bike are on the 1100 right out of the box. I understand my concept here isn’t for everybody,that’s OK but it will be one people will have a hard time figuring out.

what is your plan with a rear wheel and swing arm?I understand some people had to fabricate bushings because an axle is thinner. Did you perhaps find a better solutions?
