Not really a build like you can do with a Jeep. but modified in certain areas of the bike.

When I got the bike it already had the led lights and the handlebar replaced. later on I rebuilt the exhaust several times, before finally settling on the low-profile exhaust.

i felt like the exhaust is in the way of that beautiful single swingarm... Undecided

Great job though!  what paint did you use again? I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Curious as to how do you suspend the mufflers. Do you bolt the stock bracket to the passenger footpeg?
