Looking for inspiration: Motorcycle Rearends

[andrew6v]

Hey everyone,


I'm working on an 83 Honda Ascot and have a good idea as to what I want to do to the front but I'm not sure about the rear end. I want to be able to keep it a two seater, and the rear of the frame is not straight, (that is the passenger section is raised), I like the looks of a rear hoop and bench style seat, however I could not just cut it off and put a straight hoop in because there wouldn't be enough clearance. I was wondering if anyone has seen custom cafe "ish" bikes that keep the not straight rearend, and could post a picture.

I hope that makes sense? The only bike I can think of that has kept this looks is gsdapollos nighthawk which isn't finished.

dude it looks sweet, i would just hide the back of the frame and rails with some fiberglass and paint it white with the same scheme you have

or you could do this...

I like Mr. E's seat, http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=9533.40

Otherwise I have a feeling we may see more of bikes like this

If the wife doesnt start riding soon i'm thinking of building my seat like that one

At the risk of suggesting the obvious, how about a tracker shaped seat.

That's what people tell me what to do with the ascot, but I don't really like that look. I like these though, so might do something like it.
