    So I'm gonna do a little post build update here. Been riding the bike for a bit now, tuning as I go. So I changed the header length of the pipe to get the powerband in a more desirable rpm range.

    Thanks for the great feedback! It was certainly a struggle turning an enduro into a "brat-cafe". as for the tire clearance fortunately I am only about 105 lbs so the bike doesnt even sag when I sit on it, So fortunately I dont think the tire will ever hit the seat but I understand the concern

    Makes sense. I mostly just liked the aesthetic of them but I don't expect them to last long on my bike tbh. So when they are gone I'll get a real set of tires

    I made a metal (steel) seat pan and then had it upholstered. They wrapped the leather around the back and used some sort of contact cement to attach it

    Well that's basically it. I've got a couple little bits here and there to work on but this thing is basically done. I'll post a running video and more pics if anyone is interested.
