One problem the bike had was that it really can't support a passenger. Of course we knew this while pondering whether this is the bike to buy or not. But even with this it was a good purchase - it looks nice, it's well taken care and the price was right. But the issue needs to be tended. So here is the progression in four pics.
First - this is how it looked when we got it. Then, there is a new parts, struts and fender that can support a passenger. But as you can see it doesn't look that pretty, and as everyone knows these projects always cost more than double that you thought in the beginning. So new shocks were purchased and installed. It wasn't a bad investment since the old shocks were really worn out and it rides now much smoother than it did. But still got the new ones mainly for looks. Note that also the blinker lights were moved back so that passenger can have her legs somewhere nicely. In the final pic the height adjusted and it has the correct paint. Looks nice and is ready for a date night.
Oh and I didn't do the work myself. All of it was done by a shop close by called California Choppers.
