Am looking to transform my bike into a more low profile style that can fit my like style such as the picture shown below. Ay ideas?

such a pretty purple bike! The riding group that I am a part of frequently deals with children. A very large percentage of the favorite bikes the children select as the best are the purple bikes. Seemed odd to me but I have seen them favor purple and blue.

Seems odd that purple is a too color, I would prefer a black bike, but thanks for the comment. Am thinking to add some 18 inch apes, lower the rear and change the seat.

Sell me your rider seat..order a Dragger USA solo low profile seat...get rid of fender stays/sissybar pad and replace with chrome eyebrows...16 in apes...get a different front rim (18-21 in and spacers from a member here to make it fit...his handle is Smokescreen). Get rid of crashbar. For rear fender get Mustang fender bib or her new fenders.

Where are you located?

[Purplestar]

Good ideas, but am unable to take the sissy bar pads and bar without removing the rear fender because of he bolt hitting the fender when removing it. Am located in Arizona,

A while back a member here had a seat for sale that might work with what you're looking to do. DEEPHATE, you still have that seat for sale?

[DEEPHATE]

Sold it quick on the FB. 1ST thing I got my money back out of ever! after I found I hated it. To me it hurt immediately I couldn't get home fast enough to take it off!.

[Brad_G]

DEEPHATE, it's always nice when you can get your money back if you find you don't like something. Anyway, just wanted to pass it along just in case you still had it.

He sold it already

I wondered as I couldn't find the listing. But wasn't sure if I saw it here or on FB.

Purple Star...
remove the rear bolts (circled red) on each side and loosen the front bolts (circled aqua) and can rotate whole assembly up and forward toward seat ..use a towel 7ner so as not to scratch anything...NOW you can access the two bolts on either side of the fender stays to remove the sissybar and now to can pull the forward two bolts (circled in aqua) to remove the fender stays. End up with cleaner look...I just actually did this today on my black bike and used fender "eye brows" instead of fender stays

[Brad_G]

Great tip. Now I feel like a dunce because I'd always remove the stays from the bike and walk over to a bench or tailgate of the pickup to remove backrest etc. This would be so much easier and don't have to take the bag brackets off. Not sure why I never thought of this.
