What type of modifications were made to support your legs, shift gears, and use the rear brake? I'm interested in getting an atv or modifying a street bike. Thanks!

Oh, great pictures!!

i use a thicker seat to prevent pressure sores, leg straps and snowboardbindings to support my legs and feet, rekluse z start clutch and z start rear brake, pingel electric shifter but i recommend you get a kliktronic shifter, recommend running handguards especially powermadd they nice light and look great
