Picked up this seat pan today off of Craigslist for $10. Not sure how I'm going to mount it yet. Does it look too small?

Getting close by the day. Waiting on a new throttle housing, tail light, and seat shocks.

That paint job on the motor looks sweet!

Did you paint it while it was together or apart? Did you sandblast them or something first or just clean it well?

@ apbling....just clean it up first. Next one will get the full strip down. (This the first one I have ever done.) The paint could have laid down better. Don't think it was quite clean enough in some places. (Plus I went too fast, tried to lay down too much at a time.)

My second attempt at mounting the seat turned out perfect. I'm very happy with it.

A buddy of mine is going to cover the seat, then some repaint and touch up, and I think I can call it done.
