Man... It took me about 6 hrs to hand sew that thing. It's not all that lumpy , but it is huge! I'm not completely stoked on it to be honest. But it had a 6" rip in the stock seat. that was kill'n me. I'll probably buy something already sewn up. I'd like a manx style seat but we'll see...

Wow, Louie, i did not know you did all that by hand. I think the new tank will compliment that seat nicely or better. Sorry, when i said lumpy I did not mean the texture of the seat. I menat the seat as a whole was like a lump, because I thought it was too big. I think the work you did to it in it of itself looks great. I am buying a sewing machine for this very reason, to be able to upholster my own seats and not end up with blisters and punctures. ;)

Thanks man. After spending some time on the new seat (about 90 miles) it's growing on me. It's so darn comfy...?

On another positive note. I found what I believe to be a yosh header today for it today. It was real ruff, but it cleaned up well. I sprayed it with some VHT black. I'm gonna bake it in the morning. Maybe have it on tomorrow night. I

Ya, I'll go for a bit. For sure! What time...? Have you checked the weather?
 
Re: My new XS750... Seat finished!

Lookin' nice man. The seat has a real 70s look, I dig it. And def props for hand sewing it. I cant even sea a button on my shirt without drawing blood.

Thanks mike. The header just came out of the oven.

For anybody who cares. Baking VHT flame proof paint in your house hold oven hardly has any odor. I'm backing a pot-pie right now. I'll let ya know if it tastes like paint chips, ha ah

Header and slip on are installed. Sounds real good. It's actually quieter than stock @ idle. I'm really interested to see what the equal length header and slip on do for my performance. With no load on the motor I can tell a huge increase in the speed the rpm's jump when you touch the throttle. I'm sure I'll be back to rejetting soon too.

I'll be taking it to the store in a bit, so we'll see what happens. I'll post picks and maybe a vid later.
