To me that's what it's all about! I'm totally gonna try and make that work. What a great idea and killer way to save $$ and reduce waste. That is the kind of thing that only someone with experience in doing this kind of shit would notice. I believe I read someplace that 10.5 or 11" shocks should fit the bill just fine.Īlso, Jim, wow! And thank you. Any input would be greatly appreciatedĬlick to expand.1) Yeah I am aware, I was planning to get an aftermarket tank that's a bit smaller than the stock, so this one won't be any issue.Ģ) I've already got a solo seat pan, and a friend who is an ace at upholstery, he makes custom messenger bags as a side hustle that are some of the coolest I've ever seen.ģ) I have noticed this too, but it hasn't seemed to be a problem for tons of folks running those brat kits that essentially have the same altered geometry.
bear with me, I cobbled it together using the apps available on my phone so it ain't pretty lol.
Anyways, this next pic is a VERY rough sketch just for a visual aid of what I'm imagining. But seeing as it appears nobody sells/manufactures these kits anymore, and that I don't have any access to a tubing bender but AM a certified welder, I was wondering if y'all think it would be structurally sound if I were instead to fabricate a "box" so to speak, that matched the same contour, but was solid walled steel plate say 1/8 or 1/4 inch? That could also double as a place to hide the battery/electronics & wiring, maybe with some kind of hinged lid, or even just a flanged lip or something that I could then mount a solo seat on top of? It would have to also include the upper mounting points for the shocks, which is part of the reason Im asking for opinions because I imagine the load/stresses on those shock mounts to be substantial, and I don't want it to crumple or distort under my ass as I roll down the road lol.
