     On my initial test drive after the build, I made a pit stop and the bike drew its first fan….

    Cant remember where I stopped though…. <wink>

     

     

     

     

    Either way I think it looks sharp,……………… and believe the bike turned out ok too. =)

     

    Details about this bike

    This is the Seeger Kit (said to be delivered 3 weeks after ordered but received OVER 1 year later) with 10” over forks..

    same length as the ORIGINAL of this bike

       

     

    Chromed & Lowered 4" rear, Chromed forks/fan, hypered, V&H straight shots cut at angle. Drag bars on 1 x 10.5 pullback risers (BECAUSE I am 6’4”), 5.5” will look better….and you will not have to lengthen the wire bundles…(major pain) custom Harley grips & Kuryakun mirrors, stainless cables, Seeger seat, Jardine forward controls, Chrome belt drive (with issues), Custom signals, tree & swithes chromed, cruise, alarm, harley horn, Headwinds Headlight with modded mount. license plate & emissions mod. running a 165 main and 148 piot jet

     

    Bike rides perfect if not a little better than stock because of the longer wheel base…. Again do not tear down your bike in anticipation of receiving the kit within an acceptable time frame LIKE I DID!! My bike only has 5k on it and bought it in 1999. Kurt @ seeger was very courteous and understanding of my “concerns” He did correct most errors made with this order LESS the front brake line(had to use harley as the kit was to short), front axel spacers(I had to hand make) and of course delivery time. What is interest on $1400 for a year plus?   If I HAD to do this kit over I would only go 8” over as I have to lower the front now to get the frame level. And ordering Chrome forks as these ARE specially made and will not be able to replaced.  Truly I believe I would just trash the legs and go with harley forks and lowers… Cheaper then chroming and YOU CAN GET PARTS FOR THEM!!! ie… ball milled fork covers  Do it right the first time.  Good luck.

     

    Thanks to EZ and Tweek for the email help on the other parts of the bike…

     

    Well, Im off to go put some miles on her now, and  NO! I was talking about the bike!  Stay cool
