I had considered boring out the center, but I need to get this thing road ready before I miss a riding season.

Here it is finished.

Thanks by the way

Yes, I understand the principal, but I didn't have any guide to go by, like I said, I am rookie. So I set it down half the thickness of the o ring. I figured it was easier to take more out than put it back in. So tonight I removed a little more material, and it fits SNUG. I had to freeze it...

I made this yesterday. I am not a machinist, so I think it came out pretty good for a rookie. Tho I do have to chuck it back up and drop the o ring groove a little deeper, due to it not fitting with it on.

For me personally, it is about building a clean bike, and one that performs well. For others it is about aesthetics. I don't know when this place became caferacer2.net but when building a custom bike I think we should build what we like and ride within the means of its engineering. not everyone...

Yes. that is part of my redesign. It just sucks I have 15 or so hours in my seat, and I have to re-engineer it. The knowledge from my failed design taught me tons. I learned how to check for clearance issues, And many of my favorite bikes have now become unpractical. :-\

Lol. Unfortunately I did not see the issue when I built the seat. I wanted it to cover the ugly 71 cb350 frame rails, instead of putting it on top of the frame like most people, I wrapped it over creating a straight line from the tank to the rear of the seat. ugh. This is the reason I was...

I see many people cutting off their factory frame brace above the rear tire and welding in a pan for their battery and such flush with the frame. As I was getting ready to fab the pan for mine, I noticed there would be some tire clearance issues. I removed the springs from the shocks and the...

let me know if this sounds right. Adjusted the cable screw all the way down to let the valve close. Turned the Idle stop screw to where it was just resting against the stop. Adjusted the cable adjuster again until the stop screw just came off the stop and then back a little to rest it again...

Where would you recommend mounting them?
