So all of a sudden I got a bug to do another bike build, My first was doing up a 2007 victory vegas which i found out was way too much fucken money when it was done so now im doin a budget build, i've bought most of the stuff off here and i'm keeping my budget under $1,000 including the bike which i bought for $400 bucks so the race is on...... im gonna use 11" progressives in the rear and i've got an alien tank as well as redoing the wiring to simplify things not many pics yet but ill work on it, took a few last night after i tore it down, o ya this thing runs like a champ already replaced the needles and seats and put on new carb holders now i gotta get pod filters and an exhaust built out of a brass headboard i got for free o yes. anyway i have already ran into my first problem, the alien tank is all set up for single back bone which i have but as you can see in the pics the bars the coils mount on keep it from sinking down to where it should be so.................
my question to you guys is can i cut them off and then cut out the ugly factory neck gusset and then beef that fucker up with my own new gusset and still be safe? i also want to stretch the backbone a bit as the alien is a little long on the back bone anyone have advice or ideas?
