I designed it and drew it up. Recycled fittings from factory tank and had work shop make it.

Still deciding on seat color. I think the brown has a cool rustic look but black might be more appealing to the eye. I personally really digging the brown but black and brown aren't supposed to mix so idk...

Amazing work so far, looks like a completely different bike. As for the seat color I agree that the brown is a cooler color in general but maybe not for this bike. It flows nicely with the black.

Thanks! Have to make up seat pan and tell the upholstery guy what I want this week.
 
With the monochromatic look that you have going on with this bike, I would go with a black seat.

It is looking fantastic, man.

I took some dimension and drew up a rear cowl. Found a fellow on the forum to build it for me

Fantastic build! Have been watching it come together for a while now, but have never posted before.
Out of everything I love the flow and form of the seat and cowl. Any chance you can post or PM the actual plans??

I don't have actual plans for the build but I'll be more than happy to post the drawings for the items I designed for it.
