Hey riteonjohn, your bike looks killer-but- how in the hell can you ride that thing with your body bent in such a “C” shape. I know your a younger guy, but still....hurts me just to look at that riding position.

It hurts in long distance riding. My only solution is to get mid controls. Riding for an hour at a time ain’t bad at all.

Somehow I got a chip on the top of tank. I thought paint pen would work. Not quite and a little polishing compound made it worse. So I tried my hand at pin striping feathers on the oops. View attachment 429866 View attachment 429868

Just wanted to compliment you on the stripes...love old school...

I did it myself. the cover was made by fiberglass with black-paint and,
screw the cover to the pulley cover with six brass screws.
(The machine shop drill those holes) .
The original idea is :

Finally, I've replaced original screws with brass-colored stainless screws.

That looks so good @riteonjohn love the 19" /18" should help with ground clearance too.

Actually he wont have any additional ground clearance . His wheel is bigger at 19" but the tire is a lower profile so the overall height is about the same. I've Added a Tire size comparison link below
Original size 130/90/16
New size 130/60/19

I actually decided to black out my OG bolts.

Can the center fiberglass part be purchased ?

I purchased these screws from UK eBay.
it's not a kit, I check the Scout service manual and purchased these stainless screws.

What alarm did you go with and was the install hard?

"Gorilla" brand. Install is technically easy but there is not a lot of 'free-space' in the bobber. It takes some spatial creativity to make a tidy install.

You wouldn’t happen to have an install video or know where I can find one?

No worries. Did you place it under the seat?

Yes it was the only place that could house the unit. Trying to get all the stock stuff back in was a pain in order to get seat back on properly. After air intake upgrade (pending) I may try to move it under the tank.

After removing the stock air box there's an opening to a hollow cavity in the frame between the tank and headlight. It's the perfect location for something like that. It's where my Digital Guard Dawg Keyless Ignition Module lives.

Perfect!

Put a brake light modulator on this weekend figuring it would be good to have with the day's getting shorter. Super easy install but tightening the zip ties was a bit of a pain since I could barely fit my hands in the space.
