Wait, are you milling out the entire seat hump from a single piece?

Yes its going to be milled out of Aluminum or ABS. I figured why not I have the technology.
Here is a pic of the under side.

Looking for a seat update!

Exhaust looks killer, Is there an exhaust brace in there? If there isn't your likely going to run into issues with so much stress on the head.

Dalovva · Apr 10, 2014

We had to order a big enough piece of billet to do the job. It should be here early next week.
I also looked into 3D printing.
ABS Printing $850
Sterling Silver printing $12,973

wow
Thank you Wenstrom Design and Fabrication

Its not there as of now. I am considering a custom bracket to attach to the frame behind the mufflers more out of sight. It has been put on the back burner while I finish this seat cowl.

Installed my fuel lines today. I used a CB550 Petcock on my Cb360 tank. Clear 5/16 Motion Pro fuel line. Drilled a hole thought the frame with a grommet into a SS Y connector then to the carbs.

too clean, nice work.

Dalovva · Apr 15, 2014

Instrument Cluster for two 2.5" gauges

You've done a excellent job thus far! I can't wait to see the results of the milled cowl.

duggyb · Apr 21, 2014

Cant wait to see this build complete, looks unreal already.

Dalovva · May 12, 2014

Cowl back from CNC. Milled out of T6 aluminum
These pics are straight out of the machine.
Pictures to come on the bike later today.

Dalovva · May 12, 2014

Sitting on the bike. ;D

Green199 · May 12, 2014

Wow! That hump looks fantastic man! Well played!

HerrDeacon · May 12, 2014

Very nice! I hope you're going to leave the finish as is, works well with the rear shocks and finish on the mufflers to contrast against the black.

Dalovva · May 12, 2014

I love the finish so much the cowl and tank will stay bare at least for this year.

Zoltan · May 12, 2014

The cowl looks great. When you sandblasted everything, did you put a clear coat over them? After sandblasting are they not as vulnerable to rusting? Seems any bit of moisture on the right place of my bike will create rust on these old metals. Debating painting vs. sandblasting my engine.

xb33bsa · May 12, 2014

it looks fantastic
but why not go alot thinner? it sure is heavy
or is it tapering to thinwalls up inside?

Aluminum.
Doesn't rust.
