Thanks alot gentlemen, I have alot of little things to get done. The show came up quick so it was clean enough for it. The seat will have paint, the batt box built and under seat(hidden), Forks rebuilt, rear piggy-back shocks, and aluminum rims(not sure what kind), and graphics on side of tank.
Re: 74' Yamaha RD350 - Basement Build
Very nice job.....I like how it has nice clean lines. The seat and tank should line up nice w/ paint (optical illus) and also rounding the seat side to tank can give it the illusion too. Anyways, looks very clean and silent till you open it up. Nice build.

CrescentSon......Thanks for the push
I will have more accents throughout the build and the seat will be tooled and eyelets used w/ laceing. I like old-school bobbers and the style they posses and that is what I try to style my bikes...

"That rear fender brace needs something. It just looks like a piece of flat bar. With all the badassery on the engine, it just looks kinda slapped on"
I hope this is better and w/ this style it should pull together w/ the...
Re: 9's cb175 "Caf-feine" - NEW PICS 1/08/12 ready
It will have 3/4" foam w/ leather cover mounted to a pan. The cowl will be padded as well and all edges rounded so cowl will be able to open. Can't wait till I start on the tooling.....will have nice graphics and color to match paint scheme.
Re: 9's cb175 "Caf-feine" - NEW PICS 1/08/12 ready
I was going w/ a cam-lock but I like the idea of a leather strap as well.
True that......looks cool tho!
Yes, I am modifying the braces now. Giving them spunk to match the rest of the build and I will be tooling my seat w/ same idea in mind...
