I am a huge fan.

Thats real simple and clean. I love it. I bet its a lot of fun too. How much do you think it weighs? What can you tell me about the seat? It looks similar to a factory seat just less foam. I'm a big fan.

Jake - this is awesome. I am launching a publication and would love to feature this. Can you email me - heybrett73@gmail.com?

Hey thanks, guys. Yeah.. the weight, I'm not sure; I shed a lot of extra crap, maybe around the 280lb range. To answer your question about the seat, I encourage you to look at my build thread.. I've included the step by step process of how I did everything. It is nothing close to the factory seat for the tail of the frame was reshaped.

Are the clutch / throttle assemblies stock? Really like the look of those for my '78 cb750- if you have links, that would be swell

I'm really not a fan of brats, but that's a badass lookin' bike!

 

[Jake73]

Yeah, I don't remember where I got them. I think it was the local motorcycle scrap yard/ shop thing we have around here. Sorry.

Wow, those look brand new- lucky you finding pieces like that in a scrap yard!
