Thanks,
The seat is actually done using the. Original seat pan and shaving down the foam , recovered by local auto upholsterer. I did not want to chop things up apart from removing a few unwanted tabs from frame, I still have original parts removed in case anyone ever wants it back to original.
Been a heap of fun working on it.

great looking bike i wish i had the money to put into my like that

Thanks, it actually was not that much money spent as I did all the work myself. I think the most expensive item was dyna s and coils. Plus done over a long time it's easy to pretend you're not spending much :)

the dyna z and coils might be the most expensive but all the little things that are under $10 adds up fast. but then again theres always going to be more little things to add to a build
