jag767 said:Looking great! What ducati you have in there?
xb33bsa said:it really does look fantastic
but me being an asshole ill point out that it needs something like side panels to keep the air filters from getting knocked off or torn up by a foot getting slung over the bike
'it will happen,eventually and or could even pull the carb right out of the intake spigot flange
the carbs you have a support to them or they hanging on their own ?
stock setup the carbs get lots of help from the connection to the airbox ,they need something to support them
the front fender and bracket are very nearly perfection i just dont why it is bobbed so short
specially in the front it upsets the perfection in the bracket you made
i hope the seat padding is almost solid and unmovable at the same height as those brass nuts stick straight up the ass,otherwsise it will be a very unpleasant suprise for the rider
the seat would be perfect if it was same height as the hump even a bit higher with a padded bolster just up and over front top edge of the hump
carry on

I'm not worried about the carbs. It would be hard to snag a foot on the filters, and the new boots hold very snug. I've never had a problem.
The fender is bobbed short because that's just how I like it.
The seat has very dense foam up past the rivet-nuts, you can't feel them.
Once the seat is wrapped the rear of the seat should be level with the rear cowl, or slightly above.

that is one of the best looking 350's i have ever seen, except it is unfished looking
it just is screaming out for some number plates or side panels the open look is below your capabilities, way below
jag767 said:Nick what shocks are those?
Nj732port said:Bike looks great, where is that foam from? how is tire spray gonna spray off the carbs? that light mounting might get stolen by a few people : ;D
jag767 said:Looks great, I hope to see it on Bike Exif soon!
ncologerojr said:Thanks man. Me too! Haha
ncologerojr said:Thanks. The foam is a hd closed cell polyethylene ordered from McMaster.
jag767 said:Btw I Going to be throwing down a challenge for you soon: make a 2014 cb500x fuel pump fit into a 1972 cb450 gas tank, lol!
adventurco said:Can you provide a link for this? I have been looking for some good seat pad foam for a while. Plus, I need to make an order from McMaster anyways.
Looks great, btw. Owner will be happy ;D
