So we have the basics of swapping tail sections, installing flat bars, changing lights, etc....
But what about the parts that bolt to these parts?
And the parts that bolt to those parts? A
nd so on and so forth.
Basically what I'm getting at is there are so many ideas that we could implement into our builds.
Let's take some ideas form the German scene to start. They have some of the most detailed bikes around. They use a large amount of custom billet parts that have been designed to clean up all the OEM plastic and roughcast parts that come out of the factory.
Fork covers are starting to become more common among many of the show bikes. A cue taken from the cruiser crowd that cleans up the front end. Most often matching the diameter of the triple clamps creates more of a seamless look from top to bottom. Also staying at the front end is integrated risers and bar clamps. Still using flat bars, but without the obtrusiveness of risers sticking up in the air. The riser cap is made to look flat against the clamp either on top or on the front side of the clamp. |
