Nice. There are a few of us with this going right now - all in different stages.
That looks almost exactly like the seat at my house. What did you do the the frame after you cut it to make it fit? How are you mounting it?

got the exhaust /clipons on.. started to paint.. its just a shake can.. no clear yet.. have to do the yellow and black lines, then clear.. probabaly in a couple years ill get a real paint job. forgot to put on the front fender.
everything is just mocked up. so ull see various wires and such out of place.. the seat is just sitting tehre.. no upholstery yet on the seat.. that will be the seat pan, a thin pad wrapped in black leather.
