Sadly, not much has been accomplished since my last post... Managed to get the jetting sorted finally, now to to remove the stock air box and see if the jetting's sufficient for pods. Also got a newish tank that should be arriving today to replace my dented/leaky original.
However, I've been going round and round trying to decide on what to do about the seat. At this point, I am going to rule out fabbing a seat from 'glass for the simple fact that I could find a premade seat for the equivalent or less that I would spend on materials. This is also coupled with my uncertainty about my fiberglassing skills. So far, I've narrowed it down to three choices.
A) The Daytona Cafe seat from our fellow DTTer, Roccitycafe.
B) Manx Norton replica seat, available from many sources.
C) AJS 7R/Matchless G50 seat, available from Airtech.
Matchless G50
AJS 7R
What do you guys think? Roccity's seat was one of my original choices, plus he's got a stellar reputation (as we all know). I like the simplicity of the Manx, but there's a lot of those out there. Really digging the 7R tail and seat tho. I may attempt a simple metal version of the Manx or G50 seat, but... We'll see.
