CB200 2013 Cafe Racer Build

Been Around the Block
Back for my third Cafe Racer build. I have always loved the tank on the CB200 so finally picked up a good build bike. I am a big fan of the muscat green so that will be the color, Hoping to leave the tank untouched with the stock graphics and color match the seat. Nothing too crazy on this build. The usual clipons, gut the under seat area, pod filters, racer seat and maybe rearsets. My big decision right now is what to go with for the seat. I have a couple of ideas. There is a nice cb200 seat from vietnam on ebay that uses the stock hinges and mounting so it would fit perfect but not sure if it will have quite the racer look i want plus its pretty spendy. I have posted a couple of starter pics along with a couple of my seat choices, feel free to chime in with your suggestions.

I finished my 200 last summer and the seat was one of the places I struggled on this bike. The tank is so defined that I wanted something that kept those lines and wasn't too big like most "universal" type cafe seats. I ended up making my own. It took some time but it was worth it.
It keeps the bike skinny and trim looking. Here is a pic of it without the padding.
