Bobbed the fender to a point. Drilled out by the stays, so the fender fits better.

I prefer the solo over the banana seat. The sissy bar clutters that beautiful rear end treatment in my eyes

Re: SCRAP HAPPY (WHICH SEAT ?)
I'll second that. In fact, I think it would look even better with a straight seatpost, to show more of the fender.

Re: SCRAP HAPPY (WHICH SEAT ?)
I kinda like the nanner seat but it does distract from the fender, I'd go for the single with a seat post that is lower and longer. Put the seat almost on the rear tire.

I say nanner with curved sissy bar to match the curve in the fender

The lines of the chainguard/skirt guard/bobbed fender are really nice on their own. I know restraint isn't really a rat rod value but I would leave those alone and use the small seat.

The sissy bar hides the curve of the Elgin skirts. If you use the nanner you should probably consider some support that compliments that curve.

Re: SCRAP HAPPY (WHICH BARS ?)
After thinking it out, the banana seat and sissy bar would take away from all my fender work. So now it is time to pick the bars.
Bar 1
Bar 2
Bar 3

Hmmm... that's a toughie. :?
The apes in photo #1 are too tall to my eyes.
Photo #2 looks better. Has kind of an "Indian Larry" bobber feel to it.
And in photo #3, it looks real fast.
It's real tough between #2 and #3, but I would probably go with #2. But I guess it depends a lot on the style of riding you like.
Good choice on the seat too. :wink:

Re: SCRAP HAPPY
Went through all my handle bars and like the bars off of donor bike 3, they look and work the best. Dropped the triple trees and slammed the seat. KOTA stop by and he approves.
