Peel the frame stickers off the Hyper.

And get rid of that extended shield.

I'm not a chopper guy at all, but I really like what you've created. I love the minimalist design and I think you've done a fantastic job of retaining the soul of "the monster".

looking forward to the final pictures when it's done.

Yeah the bars help keep the tank in proportion/give it a bobber look, other reason is ergos, I may try something between the keystones and drag bars in the future. That Hyper in the earlier pictures was a buddies, I just thought it was a cool height comparison shot. Thanks guys  waytogo

I was going to make my own light/bracket but I found this one on e-bay. very nice piece, heavy guage steel. nice light too. The seller was igvita. the ebay store is dream weaver custom. by the time I would have bought a 32 light and built the bracket, I wouldn't have saved much over just buying this one.

Try to hide the plate a 'bit' inside the wheel, that'll minimize the size of that bracket and plate holder w/o looking odd.  It just looks HUGE sitting next to the bike is all.  Maybe 1/2" or so...

Oh, and BTW...  GREAT job on that fender.  I'm seeing some flat-blackness and some wick-ed pinstriping...  You?

Yeah I'm going to keep the plate as close to the wheel as I can without hitting chain, sprocket, wheel, fender, etc.... Thats funny you say that about the paint, thats exactly what we were talking about. some combo of gloss and flat black and some kool pinstripes. thanks for the challenge on the wheels too BTW. I was just going to do them black Cry but I agree with you....it's been done. so we'll see what happens. I still gotta make it run!

Cool updates. 

Looking at the inside exhaust and that it blows the exhaust onto the rear wheel and tire...any potential problems with heat on either?  Problems with paint or whatever you use on the wheels?  I can see the rear wheel getting exhaust residue on it.

Wow, it's been way to long since I filled everyone in on this thing (thanks for the nudge Stew) It's getting pretty close, I was a little overwhelmed with wiring, but thanks to help from recent transplant Duc Stew, It's back on track! If you're not familiart with Stew he's a badass builder and monster challenge winner. whe I say "help" it's more like taken to wiring school! It's been a blast working with him, and we bounce ideas back and forth till stuff is perfect! Like I said it's been a while so I'll try to keep it more pic heavy and less blabber heavy.

I finally bought a lift, money well spent.



Got the plate and tailight mounted to the swingarm.



Rear brake line runs inside the swingarm




We built a box under the tank that was originally going to hold the battery. Change of plans, that box now hold the computer, ignition coils, intake air temp sensor, and the fuse box, and it all fits! Crappy pic.....



So now the battery resides in a new box, mounted under the swingarm along with the starter solenoid. The bolt that used to hold the rear shock was modified to hold the battery box where the utter used to sit. Two hitch pins hold the bottom half of the box onto the top. simply pull the pins to access or service the battery, solenoid or charging fuse.







So thats where it's at right now. Hopefully running in a couple weeks or so!

Looks good.  Nice work.   waytogo  Just ditch that damn frame sticker.  Stick it under the seat if you want to keep it on the bike.

Looks freaking great. Love the HD/sportster/nightster feeling. But this one def better suspension than the HD.

Great works.
