The seat finally arrived so Dad and I did a little mock up today. Mostly just brain storming and figuring out what we have to do; what to cut, what to keep, what to bend, etc.
Here are a few pics:

I love the dirt stained front tire...
Is that a cb750 in the background?

Been working on the frame. My Dad braced and cut the frame in preparation for straight rails to suit the cafe' seat.
We also removed the "nubs" for the tank mounts and welded in these plates. I forgot to take pics, but we trimmed these rubber stoppers and mounted them to the frame in order to make new tank mounts that fit the TS tank.

I found this tip on another forum. Use reinforcement labels to wrap around the spokes (you have to cut a slit in them). This makes it super easy to tape the wheel for paint.
I wasn't worried about overspray on the tires. They're junk and I have new tires on the way.
