@KOCONUT:

Man I really love your bike and that bright yellow is brilliant !
But my friend your seat pad looks like it has been done in just 5minutes
Why didn't you use sandpaper to make the rubber soft and smooth at the edges ?
Everything on your bike screams perfection,....but not your seat pad
I know you can do better !

Yeah, I rushed the seat. Just needs a cover, which I'm working on right now. It is pretty comfortable the way it is though. Still, I agree, it doesnt look as good as it should. Also need to touch up the paint a bit on the cylinder head and am adding some new yellow plug wires to help set it off a bit.

Nice DOHC transformation there El Ogro, hard canvas to start with and you cleaned it up well.

That's nice! Looks like there are some "Kott" pieces on that bike for sure.

Looks good man. How does she run? Might be tough to get a good speed without a brace though.

Those colors pop!

Thanks Rich, finally got the carbs dailed in, pulls strong thru the gears. Not had it over 50 mph as of yet, just doing safety checks. 25 miles on the OD and things are looking good. I'm agreeing with Pete, the seat bump a little big. I'll live with it till after Barber.

Started out like this (it was a lot rougher than it looks here) the bike had some issues and I wanted a more traditional Cafe look rather than a track oriented look

Now it's got the look that I was after.

What did you do with the red tank and seat for the 350f.
