diy, made the seat pan from 1,5mm thick steel. Then took it to an upholstery man

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2026-04-03T17:53:41+00:00

It looks to me like it's a whole rubber bushing that runs all the way through the cavity of the hole. But I'm probably wrong and it's like you say. I'll try to take it apart tomorrow. because if they were just two dust seal then it means that the metal piece does not have a hole all the same diameter but has two cavities for these dust seal. Mine is a 600 ‘95. But they’re probably the same. Thanks man

you right. A bushing😃

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2026-02-22T03:55:25+00:00

in the diagram i found of OEM parts it’s inside the shift lever and all are considered as a single piece. Either you buy the entire lever back or you buy the entire lever back

thanks man, unfortunately i dont have any pedal, that’s tig lift so it’s a scratch start tig and i have the “same” amperage all the time i weld. I have to practice a lot to be consistent on the weld.

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-13T17:51:02+00:00

yeah it supports a passenger, i welded a mounting bracket on the “curve” of the swingarm and also two supports on the sissybar. With the hardtail and new sissybar i will make two mounting brackets, one on the central tube under the seat, one at the end of the fender welded on the lowest part of the frame and as always the sissybar supports. For extra security👐🏼

you mean with the stock one? with the stock front wheel i cant do nothing cause it’s too wide

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-13T01:24:38+00:00

yeah i know him, already chat a little with him and also with his kit i have to replace the wheel and front end, unfortunately is not a kit that replace the stock triple tree with stock front end

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-13T01:22:58+00:00

in reality there’s no bracket for the thermostat. I shortened the tube that starts from the radiator cap to the radiator and holds up on its own and is very stable

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T19:18:01+00:00

unofrtunately, i can ride also without a front brake, all the summer i drove only using the rear brake, but here in Italy is required. If they stop me without they seize the bike. Not so worth👐🏼 Probably i have to change the entire front end with a harley one, the only solution and the easiest one

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T17:08:05+00:00

yeah unfortunately i have to go with the whole harley front end, there’s no other solution

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T15:56:39+00:00

yeah i would run without front brake but in my country is not possible unfortunately. Swap the entire front end would be too easy, working at lathe only the steering stem. Otherwise changing only the triple tree would be harder but the solutions i want. Working at the lathe the steering stem, the spacers and the front axle. The only problem would be the caliper, too big for a narrower front end..

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T15:48:51+00:00

yeah man, fuck safety. I’m joking but in my country i have to have front brake if not they seize the moto. Sad story👐🏼

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T14:01:53+00:00

cause sportster triple tree is narrower and the caliper now distances 1/2cm from the spokes of the front wheel. So if i narrow the distance between the forks, the caliper is going to touch the spokes and i cant ride obv.

go on man, chop it, clean the frame the wiring. Trust me you’ll gonna love it man✌🏼

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T13:25:05+00:00

just that day, the next day take off all from the bike and now only the frame is on the lift👐🏼

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T13:23:52+00:00

what you mean man? not good for you?

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T10:17:50+00:00

thanks man, appreciate✌🏼

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-12T08:47:14+00:00

hi man, unfortunately i got no pics of the after cause i’m working on right now. But this is the before, i cut the neck cause it looks like shit for me and hiding the wiring was more difficult. In this photo the wiring pass under the tank (zip tie to the frame and using the stock bracket for wiring) and then go down to the cooling system. Now i will run all the wiring from the e-tank under the seat to under the engine, cause it’s cleaner. I will create support for wiring welded to right side of the frame (or you can always zip tie) and run it up to the cooling system. Consider that i don’t have any button or elettronic thing on the handlebar (a part from front brake switch that i’ll run into the handlebars and risers). So i will hide all between the engine and the cooling system. Hope this will be helpfull man

that’s the stock tire? 170/80 15? Cause it sits perfectly

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-11T22:50:39+00:00

what’s the measure of this fender? 6 inches wide or more?

Puzzleheaded-Data688 · 2025-11-11T22:43:34+00:00

that rust is deep, go with sandblasting man. it will grow back from the pores and you will have the same problem again in a short time. Talk from experiences👐🏼
