Man, I love that paint. If I see ya around town, I'll have to give you a big thumbs up. All I see are rotch crockets and Harleys.

pburnhamb, the clubmans just barely clear the tank. I'm running bikemaster bars that I got
at a local shop here in Omaha. Turn sigs aren't legally required here, so I opted to keep the look
clean and not run any, I use my left arm when I need to.

l0g1c, do you ever make it out to Flashbacks on Wednesday nights? I haven't yet, but now
that the bike is finished up and running reliably I'm about to start making sure I do. I'm
out in the Millard area and know what you mean about the bullet bikes and hardley ablesons...

I've never been there, but I've seen the car shows before. I never knew they were associated with anything. I thought it had something to do with the Shriners, hehe.

I'll have to try to make it down, now that I know it's a weekly deal.

That is a very nice looking bike. But I would certainly do something with that seat. It really distracts from the rest of the great work done.

Yep yep yep. I haven't stopped thinking about the seat
since I threw it together. It's the first thing that's
going to get torn into once I scrape together a little
more fundage (wife's already a little upset that I went
a couple hundy over budget on the bike...). I'm
going to have to do something underneath the seat pan to
anchor the vinyl, most of the teeth on the stock pan
are broken off on the left side of the bike, which is why
it looks so half-assed right now. I'm thinking I'll
get some thin strips of wood and bolt them to the inner lip
of the pan and use those to staple the vinyl to. Should
be able to get a nice tight stretch that way. I also
need to do some better shaping on the foam and so something
along the edges of the pan, the foam on there doesn't wrap
around the contour of the seat pan so the sides are just
vinyl over the pan, hence the creases and wrinkles. I'm
debating putting a little pad on the bum stop too, time
will tell!
