   P:C thanks, I keep telling people you are a prince among so few. I prefer seal oil because I can harvest and clean a seal alone and then no need to bother others who also have chores to do. also seal oil burns brighter and a tad slower the  whale oil, so you can make it equal out close to the same deal. An nothing as good as flipper pie on a cold winter night in the old igloo.
Those ideas will help with the mounting of the lowers, Once I have the bike inside I can take my time and think it out and make the plans.
After lunch I am going to go for a ride too......

Moose, I will mount the one set and sit on the bike and see how it feels, I'll load "Electra Glide in Blue" into the player and watch it and ride with them and see how the risers fit, then switch CD's and watch something else and sit on the bike and see which set I like better...........

When I bought my bike I thought the very first thing I would do was change the extended risers out for mini aoe Z bar, until I rode the bike a bit. I actually really like them and will probably keep them.

I thought you used whale oil?  Pound for pound it's a better deal, and you can get a whole winter out of 1 whale, verses 50 seals.

Here's my home made lowers thread: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=22935.0

There's also this way to mount them: http://www.minneapolis-moline.com/lower.html

Or this way: http://www.starbikeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8000

Or the last way I thought of to mount them was to find some "U" bolts that were slightly bigger diameter then the fork tubes, polish them up (or paint them black for you), slip some clear plastic tubing over them and get some acorn nuts for the ends.  The Lexan would obviously have to be wider at the mounting point and cover the fork tube as the 2 "U" bolts per side would have to have both sides pass through the Lexan.

In the end I'm happy with how mine turned out.

Good luck with your projects!

I'm going riding now! ;D

     Ok with Oct nearing an end and Nov around the corner time to start to think of my winter project list. PC just for your info, today my shipment of seal oil came in so I have lights for the winter and some oil to heat the igloo with.

So my projects are mostly cosmetic this year, as I did all the rebuilding last year. Also all the parts I picked up from WoodCarver, I kept some for myself for a couple of projects the rest will be sold over the winter. So my projects for this winter will be:

1. Extra horn, DONE.
2. Signal light grills, DONE.
3. Risers, do I need them or will I like them.
4. Front Hub Cover, it is on its way from the UK.
5. Wind Screen lowers, need brackets.
6. Rear Signal lights turned into signal/Marker lights, got the parts.
7. Serrated heat shields, part of the parts I got from WoodCarver.
8. Grampasize Carb, because GB told me to do it.

once I am done looking and planning all the parts out I'll be listing them.
