New Mods 2 Years, 5 Months ago  
I have been bugging you all with questions about relocating my fuel pump, the little tube on my carb, and cutting SS. Thought I would share the pics of my end results. Lot of tinkering lately, man I love this bike!!!!

Looking good so far... keep up the good work! Is it just me or is your rear end up higher than normal? It just seems really high to me... of course, mine is on air ride and I havent seen a stock height Roadie in a long time

I ride 2up usually, and I cranked the rear spring good because I kept bottoming out, the belly would drag! Would love to lower it but the suspention has to remain tight.

Good job. I was thinking of relocating my idle knob and I think i'm stealing your idea. LOL. Is that damage to your rear fender? Those rear floor boards look uncomfortably high. Is your ole lady short? Or are ya trying to keep her off of it. LOL.

Fender is fine, it's a weird reflection.

You're right about the passenger boards though, she says they're fine but I think she would be more comfortable if I moved them down. I haven't come across an affordable fix yet, maybe I'll work on siome custom brackets next.

That looks real clean. Did you chop the factory bracket to fab that?

Also have you had oil drip on your choke knob yet? Was wondering if that'll be an issue.

No I copped the factor bracket and cut it out of Stainless steel and polished it and it came out great and buddy I never had a drop of oil come out of the filter and had it on over a year.

Yours looks great also great minds think a like........lol

Survey, check the tech tips, i seem to remember a passenger peg flip that may lower the pegs a little. I know it works with the stock pegs, not sure if it will with the boards.
