The bike is not ready to ride yet but as far as I can see it won’t have any rubbing. But I now need to figure out something for the signals and brake lights. I came up with an idea today that I might try. If it works it’s going to be really awesome.
That looks great Tony, love the drag bars too! Now if you can just come up with a way to make the snow go away to see how rides ! !
Hey Tony, I was just setting here admiring your pic’s again when I thought of something. Are you going to have any trouble mounting the wheel with the fender installed? My bike has the ALS, so I have to leave the swing arm on the bike then maneuver the wheel & final drive into position. It would be very difficult for me to do that with my fender on.
I guess you can always pull your fender too, so maybe it's not that big of a deal.
I expect so Eric
There is just as much steel as before to handle the vertical loads and the hoops give lateral stability to the cantilevered frame arms. The original Fury seat anchors remain .
Spell check........ What I meant to say was “concerned about”......
Anyways...... Now I get what you’re asking. But as “Bwils2393” pointed out. It’s very strong. In fact I would say it’s stronger than the factory setup.
I followed the shape of MY “T-Mod”. Others have chosen to sink the fender lower than I have. I would not follow the original shape of the frame as I do NOT like how the fender sits from factory. I would run the 1st “T-Mod” for a full season before I jumped into this mod. The First “T-Mod” is revisable. This one is very permanent. If I sent you the template it would be very hard to know where to position the strut. That’s why one of the last thinks to do on this mod is to cut off the inner OEM tail section.
LOL..... Thanks for the complement....... But I didn’t sense the sarcasm because it sounded like a reasonable request to me. In fact I kept the template thinking I could pass it onto others until I put a bit more thought into it.....
I don’t consider myself as a master fabricator by any means. But at the end of the day you are cutting up your motorcycle. This mod does require some skill and if done poorly could really screw up your bike.
I haven't done the T-Mod. I don't see any reason I can't do the Sumo T-Mod. With the new fender I think the T-Mod would through off the lines of the fender and might even cause clearance issues.
