Thank you guys for your nice words.
The bike and all the stuff are now rusted, and as it's going to be a cafe racer so that why I edited the photos a bit to look somehow retro... Sorry if you don't like it.
The progress 's still going on....
Let me make a trial to see how's riding posture should be:
Obviously the foot pegs should be lowered. And the gear and brake pedals would be pulled backward around 7-10" or so.
The guys are doing the job of making the exhausts:
They said my requests are so complicated - but hell, they can do them all...

My seat is removable. I don't want it to be limited to just one type of seat so I made it replaceable. Just loosen some bolts underneath and slide the seat hump out, I can have the flat base. I can put the other seat in within some minutes. The bike will have different look and of course, I can have my wife or my son back on the pillion seat.

Thanks.clem said:
They are great guys. I have done quite numbers of stuff on AutoCAD and others, even hand drawing to send them. They said that I am the most crazy client as I usually give them difficult problems. However, I can say that I am happy with what they are doing to my bike for now. Most of the things I requested, they can make it.

Some more stuff are ready for the paint job:
Gas tank, view from bottom:
Battery housing, it would be underneath the engine:
This 's to secure the number plate:
You are looking at the seat and the seat hump. Those are removable type with some bolts underneath. The bike will have a different look with another seat:
The exhaust cans, will be painted matte black:

Let's see the chassis:
This area is the most important one as well as the triple tree area.
Minimum job to the rear wheel, just get it clean:
The rear shock riser:
Close up:
And here's how we get it clear from water clogging:
This is also required minimum job:
This radiator sucks. Well, just get it refurbished to save some cost:
Front dual-disc and the shim plates - need to blast and repaint:
...
can't wait to see finished bike.....................................................................................
