I'm running these 3" springs with a West Eagle seat. Super comfortable. Way nicer than the stock setup. Far more support and pretty forgiving over larger bumps. Totally smoothed the bike out. Check Lowbrow for the springs... $20 a set.

the ShitWizard looks good Kev
Hello all! Im jumping in head first!!!!! Iv been lurking this board for a few days now and have decided on a hiest for myself....... funny story.....I was window shopping craigslist looking at all the purrdy bobbers and found an ad for a hiest , next came research on reviews then I stumbled on this forum and now have decided im getting one......although it looks like stock is not gonna work for me, but when has stock ever been good enough.....lol I need info guys , and it seems like its ask and you shall receive over here so here i go.... plz tell me about the head,carb,chain,sprocket mod and anything else im gonna need to do.... I am a big guy and have ridden bikes since i was a kid so this is not my first rodeo and im handy with a wrench. that being said Iv always ridden dirt bikes of the 250 nature and as far as street bikes are concerned have never imagined being on anything smaller then a 1000.....Gardos love affair with his bike and also the shitwizard are easing my apprehension for the hiest and its knock off feel( words of a one time HD onwer, no offense intended) yes at one time I did indeed own an 883 sporty boared out to a 1200 and that america pride thing is in the back of my head say dont do it!!!! lol Im out in san diego so if anyone can steer me in the right direction of dealer and mod shop.... im hoping as iv seen on the forum a few times the guys at pit can help with getting my bike ready for day one?????? I know I may seem a little scatter-brained but there is a method to my mayhem... first ask lots of questions so im not scared, then pick what i want , then order, then smile .....atleast that's how it looks in my head hahahahh oh and iv got a few ideas about the way its gonna look too , cant wait . ok well thnx everyone and looking forward to those replies.

i have put a lot of miles on my lil darlin and the head mod+carb+exhaust+sprocket and chain make my bike ton up son.
Also check out our FB group we have over 100 members and different looks on the bikes inputs and mods all your question can be answered on place or another.
Im gonna look and see what needs to be done to fit this motor in My scoot. Its a 1982 honda cb450 motor, runs like a top, got it for nothing so Im gonna see if we can stuff her in there!!!! WADDA YA THINK?
There is space for it, just need to redo the motor mounts. the frame is rated for up to a 650
Look what i got,, gonna test it out and report guys

Thats an awesome Powell wheel on there Gardo! Is that just a real skate wheel or is modify in anyway to make it work?
Nice Gardo! Love the skate wheel. You got abec-7's in there, lol? Be careful there's not too much tension with the spring, they're made for larger bikes.
Gotta say, with the new chain I don't see the need for a tensioner. The heavy duty chains from Weaver are the way to go! Run quiet and smooth.
I was testing the whole assembly and have to say it doesnt work with the Heist. I'm with you Kev the new chain doesnt need it but it still would have looked cool.Quote:
