- July 28, 2014, 18:12:02 PMLOL ... no way Ratty my friend , the serrated shields are there to stay . Nice try though 
I did however change the mirrors out for some nice looking round ones on the 800 . As for the bag on the 1500 it is a Viking bag . I like it because it locks and you have the option to add locks to the straps as well for double security , I guess ? I have added other things to the bike as well , just can't post them on here do to the size . You know how computer literate I am so I have NO clue how to change the size and all that crap . I've already been there and tried this with no success . Maybe I'll email you some photo's of different set ups I've been running .

- July 28, 2014, 17:56:32 PM D1, buddy both bikes look really good, but I think you need to take them serrated heat shields off and put smooth powder coated black ones on there, to finish the theme of the bike, and to that end to save you the trouble, I'll take the serrated ones off your hands.
But it is a nice looking ride at that theme and looks really good.
On the 1500 is that a Inspire travel Trunk? That is coming along really well.

- July 28, 2014, 17:29:05 PMWhile I'm at it guess I better not leave Miss Ruby left out . This is the one I bought from Pilgrim . Pilgrim still haven't had the chance to cut the shield down ... 
Sorry guys I wanted to show different set ups such as solo seat , new add on etc. , but I guess my files are to large to post .

It is really interesting the focus that Kawasaki put on retro-bikes in the late 90's.

Cut it to length and glue it on......done!
Deer hide is perfect for this because it's the only leather that can get wet and when it dries out it doesn't get all hard and start cracking. It gets a little hard at first, but just scrunch it up with your hands a little and it returns to softness. Other leathers won't do that, so deer hide is perfect for floorboard and fender skirts that see more wetness then most other places on a bike might.

So still not sure were you would mount them and how they would actually work.
