Not door shims but alignment shims like you would for control arms of a car. Something of that nature.

Thinking I’m just going to remove the wheel. After some thought I would rather have the spacers be solid Incase vibrations might cause them to come out.

That will create a gap between the two seats ,and only drop the fender about twice the thickness of the shim ,why bother?( no offense)

Just looks way better IMO. I plan on keeping the rear seat on as well. I didn’t think about the space between but I imagine I can fab a bracket that will locate the rear seat closer. If it ends up looking terrible I’ll go back. Not going to be riding anytime soon here way up north might as well sneak some tasteful mods in while I can’t ride.

I don't think the gap will be that bad, and should only appear near the tops of the seats . I'd be careful that the gap between the tire and fender might become to small when hitting a large bump.

The purists on this page should be happy with what I’m doing. Usually I bust out the welder and custom everything. But, like I stated earlier this will be my woman’s bike. I’m just making it look “cool” 😂

This is probably the 1,000th bike I’ve owned. And it’s 1/10 I own right now. I’m not unfinilar with anything but the actual model etc., and I want my girl to have all the safety that I’m fine with riding without but still maintain a cool vibe.
