I finally got time to finish the other handguard and I got the seat back from the upholstery guy. He used the sides of the cover that I ordered but didn’t fit. He inserted another piece of vinyl down the middle. Now I’m thinking I need a dark blue fender bag. I’m gonna pull the one on my 87 model and put an aftermarket bag on it.
I’m sure it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it takes me back to when my heroes were **** Burleson and Scott Summers. I could find nothing online about these handguards but they used to use a setup very similar to these. Of course theirs were covered with stickers from their sponsors. My guess it that their mechanics cut them out and added them to their Bark Busters pretty much like I have done. Between the fender extension, fender brace, and the handguards it kind of has an appearance that it is set up for riding mud.
I still have a few things to do mechanically but cosmetically I have all the pieces. I’ll roll it outside and give it a good washing and take a few more pics when I get time but overall I’m really happy with how it has come together.
Now I’m looking for an H model for a future project. lol
Here’s some crappy pics.
