I set it up on a late, but you could easily set it up and do it on a drill press or with hand drill.

@ bake83- “Is that a super narrowed sporty??” Yes.. Thanks.

@ Grease Nipples- “Does anybody know the name of the splined-like connector that holds the brake pedal to the shaft? ” The round spacers? ( I used front wheel spacers) It is just a piece of pipe.

@ sean from boston- Thanks, It might seem overcomplicated but there were a couple of problems I was trying to overcome. I wanted to run the exhaust along the bottom rail. I did not want the controls mounted to the bottom rail. I wanted to be able to remove the motor.

@ josh – Dude, I just checked out your site and you have some killer paint combinations. It’s good to see that you are having some success with your new gig. I don’t have a plan for paint yet. I know that eventually it’ll be dripping with metal flake.

Is the rider more comfortable with mids than he would be with forwards and a sprung seat?

2.) Does anybody know the name of the splined-like connector that holds the brake pedal to the shaft? Just wondering.

Is that a super narrowed sporty?? Looks good

Did you drill out where the ZERK is or is there a straight threw hole there because the ones i have don’t have a ZERK FITTING. I am going to look threw the junk pile because there was a KAW that had that setup on the rear pegs. KZ 750/900/1000 are close but they would have to be welded in place. I have used them then pinned them and that workd but this is much simpler.Got the old mind running here. Out to the junk pile HAHA!!!

Same thing I did too!!! I like em really narrow, nothing uglier then a big fat set of rubber controls hanging out the sides rubbin on the ground.

Who did your tank? Looks like you’re going for the lean, underfed look, like a bony dog that’s been beaten too many times lol..
