History
Second owner, Ex rental
• Homemade rear cargo rack
Out of a 1/8” aluminum sheet, Bending and TIG welding, finish with EZ Liner coating

•Rear step delete
I never ride with a passenger so I removed them.


•REAR HAND GRIP CHOP
No rear passenger so why not?
It’s true they make it easier when you drop your bike and pic

•Secondary 12V cigarette lighter socket (cheapie waterproof one from Amazon)
I have installed a Honda genuine one at the primary location but, it’s bitch to change a fuse if you blow it. Air pump or anything I wanna charge in the rear I use this one.


•Windscreen support frame reinforcement
I did this when I hooked up a fog light harness/relay and cigarette lighter. (Too much pain to gain access)

•Poor-man’s seat conversion
Can’t go on a road trip with the gramma’s 1989 Buick. The same thing! I found the stock AT seat was too soft. (Maybe they revised with the better seat. Mine is 2017)


•ROTOPAX mount
I use a Givi rack w/Mosko plates.
I fabricated a bracket and extended the threaded stud bolt on the hold down handle.
