Sounds like a great project in the making Drew.
I like that seat too.
Although I've always kinda liked the H2R seat better.

Wayne, I think the answer is, yes and yes. :)

The arm is likely a few inches longer than the stock one would be and the seat/subframe looks quite short. B)

Hey Rob!! Thanks bro! ;) :cheer:

I like the h2r seat as well, but that's been done, and this one I have in my hands, so... you know! :)

How's the "key business"? :)

Thank you! I'm looking forward to this too! It's as much an adventure for me as it is for you guys. :P



Well, I've got a tank "on-the-way" and now the hunt is on for "running gear". I thought I had a line on some GSXR600 stuff, but the origins are a little too sketchy for me. The frame was cracked and he "says" the rest it straight and true, but... I have my doubts. :dry:

He's still pestering me for an offer. Maybe...

I'll have to see how desperate he is. There's probably some good stuff there. ;)

Whoo boy!! A pretty lazy New Year's Day today!! So... a few hours on the interweb and I've got ideas rattling around here for the front and rear ends of this project. :lol:

I love the scheming and dreaming...
