It's pretty good, I'm not a fan of seats that are just for looks so I used 7cm talk seat foam for it and shaped it with a bread knife. Did 2+ hours of non stop riding without feeling uncomfortable. Also the seat height makes the overall riding position more comfortable...

1 AM the same night: bike assembled, headlight brackets fabbed and ligths mounted and all wires hooked up. Fired it up outside and it sounded sweeet...
Next morning I put the seat cover on that a friend had sowed and took off for a seriously fun ride on the Swedish back roads. The bike handles...
Spring has finally arrived, so I got busy in the workshop... pretty much had the dry build ready but didn't know what to do about paint. In need of a quick option I opted for Würth Quattro spray paint, which is dense and flexible, which makes it good for fibreglass that flexes. I also painted...
I decided to try the dual headlight setup now that I already have an extra light kicking around...
Making the brackets

Johnpete, I have actually thought about that too. Now that I have been looking at the single light for a few days I think I will go with two. Gotta see if I have a smaller light kicking around... if not it will just be ordinary dual lights ...

I mounted one light in front... still on the fence about one or two headlights...
Got a friend who's better with the welder to weld my new pipe to the connector pipe
Got it mounted and couldn't help but firing it up - holy lightning it sounds good! Very deep tone and not too agressive...
I was seriously considering buying some expansion chambers just to have them on the shelf for a future project :) Most of the exhausts were around 50 bucks...
I went to Bali on vacation and managed to track down the guy who fabricates the exhausts and pipes for all the custom shops in the area including DEUS, he had a GP style can (which I have been looking for) on the shelf so I snagged it for a good price :)
Here's the shop, quite impressive...
A bit more progress, got the whole front fully welded and made a license plate holder. Next up: headlight bracket [emoji106]

I got some more stuff done today
- fairing mounting "arms" shaped and welded to the main bracket
- got the DZUS locks on there as well
- instrument mount cut, tack welded and test fitted...
Next up is tack welding the instrument bracket to the fairing mount and then...
That team hammer bike is sweet!
I got my showa shock today, can't wait to test the bike with this upgrade [emoji106]
