In order to get this bike registered it will
need a full rear fender, the old mounting bracket did not fit
so I took the grinder and removed it. Personally I like th look
of the narrow ribbed fender but for the registration I will
use the longer red fender first. Getting the bike quiet enough
for the test will probably be the biggest challenge of all,
I bought some stock mufflers from a new 1200 Sportster for 50
euro's, that will be a good start. I improvised a bending tool
from some scrap metal and made a bolt-on exhaust bracket as
I am not supposed to weld on the frame because it has already
been approved and numbered by the RDW. I will mount the mufflers
first and then make the headers from old pieces of exhaust pipe
covered with header-wrap.
