    the strut supports were damaged in the wreck and tweaked a bit, so i removed them and untweaked the "stubs"....after checking for straightness, i put on the seat and tank, preparing to fab up a tall sissybar with fender supports.....

    Pretty Nice, I Also Like How You Handled The Sissy Bar, What Kninda Tank Is That, Did It Mount To The Oem Holes, And Is It A Dash Mount Or Not.
