Finnishing Touches on my 650

Warning, gratuitous pictures....















I got rained on riding last week so I gave the bike its spring cleaning. This my 650 I overhauled last two years ago. Last year I continued with progresive shocks, a new rear tire, and some larger handle bars and some mirrors. I wanted to keep most of the stock look.

So what I am pondering is what to do with the seat. Its kind of big and looks a bit goofy. I was thinking of a cutom revocer with orange and black leather. I would like to keep it 2 up becuase my girlfriend likes to ride with me. So what do you think? Any pics or good ideas would be appreciated.


While I am at it how about a video...





My god I love that sound! :evil:

looks good to me,maybe some ribs across top of seat like origional to break it up a little would help

Nice bike. I bought one like that last year for 100 bucks.

Mine had a 150 rear tire. What size is recommended?

Again Nice bike. Roy

The rear tire is a 130/90-16. If you got a running bike for $100 thats awesome. This one cost me a wopping $400, and it came with a spare engine. Thats why I went for a 650, I had been looking at 900's and kz1000's but they are hard to find around here and even then they are getting spendy even for a parts bike. The 650's can be had for a song and a dnace and are much cheaper to work on. Still I want a big bore someday...

imho sir :huh: !
i believe that this offering here would compliment the lines of your tank and still give the girls enough room to get bunched up in there with you.

p.s. nice bike.i have never liked the back end of csr's or ltd's without ducktails.

I was supprised the bike had a 150/90 tire on it. I paid 150 bucks for the same tire last year.

.

I like that seat pan, most cafe type are rounded at the back, the sharp lines would look very cool.

I also prefer the ducktail minus the fender, still has a classic look that way but with a modern flair. This is an LTD, and they are kind of an odd ball. I decided to keep it stock looking. It has kind of a vintage appearence with the rear fender. I think the right seat could really make the bike.

Here is something along the lines of what I was thinking...
