Man, you just keep falling into good stuff!! LOL! I actually leave my frame slightly longer as it allows a solid mounting area for my seats. I have been looking into the progressive springs myself but I am unsure if I am keeping these two bikes... My original plan was also to use the air boxes and stock exhaust but when cleaning the pipes I found many, many rust holes in the mufflers. I found the option of aftermarket to be more cost efficient as I am not a weld like some are...
It was a great deal.......I stared and stared at the pics on Ebay for a while........finally said screw it and bought them as I figured 65 bucks and they looked clean from the pics.
Yes I was going to leave a little longer but the look I am chasing has the frame done the same way so I figured it would be good. Seat actually wont go back that far as right where the frame ends a small cowl will be. Hopefully fed ex drops off my last tire today and I can get them to the local bike shop for mounting.....going with an old school pair of Coker Firestones.........ought to be an interesting ride
