You stole my plan, I had planned to run a tan/brown pad with matching grips of sorts.
I should be able to throw the wheel on the swing arm and the swingarm back on the bike in about 15-20min so thats a good plan, I can do that tonight. However, if the seat needs to move its going to have to be split all the way down through the hump so lets hope it doesn't come to that.
Andrew, I need to get the frame brackets welded in the next week so that it can be blasted and painted. Christmas seems like a long ways away, but 2 months isn't really alot of time since i'll be out of town three of those weekends.
