Thinkin' I may veer away from the cafe tail section on this one. Here is a potential mock up of the seat pan. I may leave the seat squared off at the back to match up a bit with the rear of the tank. The other thought I had was to round it off with a piece of metal and flare it up a bit.

Going to be a bit of a long build, but I have a few other rideable bikes to occupy my time on the street. Have you ever stopped down to The Comet on Tuesday for bike night? I have been down a few times with a buddy of mine. It's usually a pretty good time down there and always a nice mix of old...

Crank Assembly - to piece together the good bits on mine with the good bits on another one
Engine Case - several broken bolts and chunk...
Thanks guys, good to know the guy was probably being honest with me at least! This is my first go at all the engine work, but I have the means and some mechanical knowledge so it should turn out good in the end. I'm pretty stoked to do some metal and fiberglass work though as that is a bit more...
Hello everyone,
I got the bike from a dude in Cincinnati for $250. His story was that he bought it and was going to get it running and then ride it... He says that when trying to kickstart it, it felt like it was kicking over harder than it should. The final kick he said resulted in "it locking...
