Thanks coyote. The build off was a fun event. Great to get together with a bunch of builders and talk shop for a day!

Glad you like it. I'm a Florida transplant to California and the paint job seems to go with both!

Appreciate it trek! Its a fun ride.

She's a HUGE hit with the ladies. Took her out this weekend, thought I was famous for a minute.

Thanks so much. I was worried it wouldn't either.

Here she is all buttoned up for now. More pics soon.

A friend suggested that I paint the subframe to match the rest of the bike till I have a chance to strip and powder coat the whole thing. It was too bright white so I knocked it back and made it look a little more aged. Complete with scratches!

Here's the seat mounted on the bike. It's not exactly the fit on the rear of the seat that I had in my concept image, nor does it fit as snug against the tank as I would like it to. I'm quite happy with the flush fit by using the rivets.

This is my 3rd custom seat cover from my guy on ebay. Send him a template and he'll send you whatever shape you need. I didn't do a great at documenting this process but it's the steel seat pan, 1 layer of play tiles, and then the foam stitched into the seat cover. It's not very comfortable but...

Thanks Anmic! Soon, very soon. I thought the front end needed something extra so I made this MX style fender out of a fender off a cb360. I'll most likely paint it to match the cowl and tank.

Prepping the tank and cowl for paint. The cowl got some bondo, then sanded, then more bondo, then sanded, and so on, and so on. Almost ready to go.

Thanks Justin! BTW does anyone know how to rotate photos once they've been uploaded? I never had this problem until I got a new phone.
