RobK said:I'm in central Denver, and it was yours truly who did the drilling. Created the template in Illustrator from a pic of Mike Hailwood's Ducati. Though it's funny, I just looked at the pic again and the pattern is different (2,3,2,3, etc), instead of mine which is 2,2,2,2,etc. Oh well, it looks the part and hey, might even help heavy braking. ;D

RobK said:OK - been a while since I updated - apologies.
Happily (for me anyway) I've been busy with the machine.
The big thing was the seat -why did I decide I need to make my own seat! (only found out after I finished I could have bought a identical seat to the one I knocked up from Airtech for ~$130) Considering the time I put in I paid myself about 50¢/hr by making, but hey it's part of the process.
Here's a little bit of said process...

I've always liked the style of seat you made. Much more than the rounded down versions out there.
She's coming along nicely.
Kinda reminds me of Dutchz's KZ:
