I am using the first option on their website (100mm shorter than stock) using the RE seat cowl with a custom upholstered seat that's on a RE seat base. Also, the universal black paint matched up pretty well. Let me know if you have any questions!
@@ethan073 I actually found it on eBay. There is a company in India that upholstered factory RE seats. They have several designs and colors as well. The eBay seller is: royalspareparts. The seat is A+ quality. Comfort wise it’s about the same as the factory solo seat.
I'd really like to install the Nuke exhaust on mine but it's impossible to bring it to Brazil without paying double its cost on shipping and tax. I got the tail kit installed though. And a bunch of other great stuff. Nice vid. Keep 'em comming!
Great video, looking to do the same thing as well. Also how were you able to mount the phone holder on the handlebar? I don't have enough space on the bar to install it.
It took me about 3 hours total due to trying to figure out how to make the cuts without any instructions. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t cutting too much off of the bike. Wiring the brake light took longer than it should have due to the very small gauge wires the brake light came with and not working with the provided connectors. Thanks for the thumbs up!!
Hey, thanks for the video on this! I was considering this kit, but I have a question: If the frame tubes are not welded in this kit, how do you prevent water from getting down into the frame tubes and causing rust? That's been my biggest concern when looking at modification.
I’ll be honest, I don’t have a good answer for that because your likely correct. I’m sure some could find its way into the frame. Honestly my plan is to not have the bike in the rain as I don’t think my seat would fair to well in the rain either. It’s not my only ride so I’ll probably avoid the rain. If this was a city commuter bike I would probably recommend staying away from this kit since their is not waterproofing around the kit.
Yeah my first thought too.. I would be using silicone gasket maker to seal up that join, but still would be worried about the frame getting water in it
@@slakk5093 I was planning on doing a strip of black vinyl wrap that would go over the joint between the fiber glass and the steel frame. I imagine if you wrap it well enough it would hide the seam and make it (at least semi) water tight.
@@captainmoto206 Hey! Just thought I'd follow up with this. I asked a few different mechanics from custom bike shops in Austin about this job. They were saying that it's completely fine to have the subframe cut open here. It's just that most people weld it to look "cleaner". They went on to say that even if water gets inside, the frame has drain holes to let water out the bottom. Some people have used things like marine grade heat shrink wrap along the cuts.

Who upholstered the seat for you? What do you think about it comfort wise? I’m looking for someone to do the same thing, considering Tuffside atm.

My man did you have any issue buy overseas? I’m trying to buy this item from the website but is not letting me.
Bro I’ve been searching for a video like this from an American guy. Thank god!
Looks great. Extra points for being brave enough to cut a new bikes frame.
Found it. Still watching
Edit: looks sharp man. Great work. Way cleaner cuts than mine.
Hey! Noticed you’re in NC! Same! Got my bike RE around the same time you did. Enjoy

I think your channel is going to grow very quickly. It certainly deserves to👍👍
This guy gets it! Haha. Thanks for the positive comment. I’m just trying to put out some relative and factual motorcycle content.
Bike looks great. The honeycomb grate on the Nukes is 🔥
Honestly one of the main reasons why I chose the Nuke exhaust.
Thanks for the video! I just ordered the kit for my Dr. Mayhem as well. This gives a better in depth than their video.

What is the name of the tool you use to cut the frame?
Thanks for the video man. Subscribed. I want to do this kit but can't figure how I'd do my license plate light. Gotta have one in my state.
100 subs ..sounds good
+1
Nice job! That's an awesome looking seat! Custom? By whom?
Owners manual tells you what each wire color does.
Great video, looking to do the same thing as well. Also how were you able to mount the phone holder on the handlebar? I don't have enough space on the bar to install it.
Shimmizz Acc. is metal short tail , not plastic!!
It's made of fiberglass, FYI
Where in NC are you located?
How long did the process take from start to finish? Thumbs up on the video.

G'day mate, Nice looking bike, especially the seat. What is your email? I will send you some photo's of my GT650. Cheers Greg
Change the front side indicatiors man they look ugly
Take your rear footrests off dude.
Nice gloves 😅
Safety first!
Can I still sit a girl in the back?
Well, I think it is a waist of time.
Not worth watching.
