Notice the three springs underneath, should be comfy!

Trying a taller sissy for balance

Tire looks great, but I'm leaning more towards the shorter sissy.. A good wrenching session tho!

Looks like you're off to a great start! The big to little tire ratio looks spot on! Are you planning on leaving the paint as-is, or are you planning on doing something different?

Not digging it, too much reach, front end feels iffy. Let’s try a frame swap...

Fatty rear wouldn’t fit, but this rides much better! Temp’ rear wheel.
