Photo Info: Lowered Original frame, made it rigid, forward only controls, foot clutch, jockey (hand) shift, 51 ford tail lens mounted to the rear of the seat, and cleaned up original rear fender, curly Z Bars, open pipes with tear drop 45* down turn, 3" antique police bike flashing red lights for rear signals, original seat-leather covered. Forward tank mounts raised one inch. Forward turn signals mounted at front axel. Left and right mirrors mounted on the same left handle bar. Triumph Trident side stand, so the bike is leaning at 45* on the stand. Passenger foot pegs mounted on modified 650 Honda engine guards, so passenger’s feet are more forward giving passenger more control in hard breaking. Ignition key mounted in left lower toolbox, along with push button starter, and turn signal controls. On top of the headlight bucket are seven green LED lights in a row left to right for neutral and seven Red LED lights in a row for Low Oil Indicator. There was a speed wobble, and the air assist suspension was blown out, so I cut 1 & 1/2 inch long sections from an old set of handlebars, and inserted them inside the top of the forks to give the springs inside more tension. It worked wonders. Extra-Extra Large Rear Tire gave clearance of corrugated cardboard between tire and fender. With the larger tire I broke the bikes max speed and got 120mph out of it. (Timed Distance) AND MUCH MORE.
