My hump.

Thanks to Krautwagen -- I've eliminated my fender and put on smaller indicators. Dave did all the hard work, all I did was bolt it on.

Lookin' good Mike!   :clap:   I've always thought those big ole stock signals looked out of place on the B4.  Nicely done.

Looks good, Mike.
Did this bike go down at some point?

My bikes been down more times then a parkdale street hooker.

The only real damage was from a lowside by the previous owner -- a scuffed exhaust, lightly grated right hand engine cover (which I have a replacement for, but have never installed), dents in the tank (which I had filled and repainted) and a bent rear brake lever (which is fixed, but still shows some scares). The fender looks a little wonky in the first picutre, but it's not subframe damage, its bolts that are MIA.

These bikes are pretty tough. I've dropped it on both sides, but haven't ever really messed it up.

Yes I can see the hugger is out of sorts but that subframe looks like it's out some too. I had this happen to my B12 from  a get off I had. I used a steel bar to straighten it right up again.

Very cool looking tail.  How was the fender eliminator made?  Is it a shaved down stock part or something custom?
I think we'd all benefit (in the looks dept) with this mod.

I'm going to go on a mission this weekend to source the missing bolts. After I get everything fastened down I'll take a look and see if the tail looks out of sorts. I may have to go the big bar route...

I just thought I'd throw in some local humour. I'm not really in the know per say. But by the number of hookers that have offices in that area -- I'd say it's being well serviced.

I didn't do the mod -- Krautwagen did. I just bolted on his parts. But from what I can tell here's what was done. Dave feel free to clarify if I've got anything wrong.

I've attached a photo of the stock fender. I've indicated where it was cut. Then a couple of holes were drilled in the sides to mount the indicators. A couple of brackets were screwed to the top to hold the plate holder. Plate light bolts were used for the lighting.

Picked up a solo seat cowl from a board member. Here's my revised hump!

Our bikes look like they're a year apart Mike, reservoir, cowl.

Had the same look going and still do to an extent but just a slight bit different now.
