Phase1todd,

Glad you like my handy work. As far as details go, I'll try to give you as much info as I can. I will try to post pics later.

The rearsets are off a 98-05 (I think) ZX6, Got them off ebay. I designed a bracket to use the existing footpeg holes. I had a friend laser cut them out of 1/4" aluminum. I had to add another 1/4" spacer between the bracket and the frame to bring the bracket out a little more for clearance issues.

For the rear cowling I cut the back end of an old gas tank that I had lying around. I folded up some sheet metal and riveted it to the tank. A crap ton of bondo later and I had a decent looking cowling. The paint shop that I used, really smoothed out my handy work to make it look good.

I relocated the turn signals to the fender mounting holes. To do this I used metric tee nuts and sandwiched the frame between the signal and the tee nut. I did have to re-tap the tee nuts though. They come with a M10 x 1.5 thread. The turn signals have a thread of M10 x 1.25.. I think pictures will better explain this. I'll post pics later (they're on another computer)

For the seat, I used plywood, sheet metal and delrin or UHMW. I'm in the process of making a new seat so I'll document with pictures for a better understanding

I hope this helps. Again, I will try to post pics later on to help understand some of the things I did.

Thanks,

Dave
