    Hello again. Quick question for ya. On your old vt500 you threw straightbars on it, first where did you find those bars? and second what did you do about the master cylinder and front brake? I feel like the angle would be wrong if you keep the stock MC and front brake.

    For the reflectors I just bought a couple of large rectangular reflectors and cut them down to size. I made a template out of cardboard first, then used that as a guide when I cut and ground the actual reflector to size. The Rox risers fit right where the stock handle bar goes (the stock risers). As far as the seat goes...now you know why I customized the stock seat...lol. I couldn't find anything either. Your best best is to just keep watching ebay, but I'm thinking that no matter what seat you get for it, you're going to have to do some modification to make it work. Make sure you post some picks of the work you're doing! It's always cool to see what other people do to their rides!

    Hello again. So i used the info you gave me on the rear fender and its almost perfect as of now. Thanks a ton. It just needs a little bit more sanding and it'll be ready for paint. I was wondering a few things. first: How did you get those reflectors into the molded part? I have some reflectors that will fit its just a matter of cutting them properly. Second: I noticed you have the handle bars on some type of risers. What are those risers connected to? and Third: I'm trying to find a seat similar to yours in terms of the slick black one seater. I don't want springs. I know that yours is the original that you shaved down but i'm wondering if you know of any similar seats that will work or where i can look. I've checked ebay but all i can find is mostly custom made seats for harleys. Thanks again
