I read all the build threads, and styles (including yours) before I started this bike.  This is one of the best forums I have had experience with!

Every twenty minute job is a stripped thread away from being a three day ordeal.

I am a happy man!  Except for the part where I put the bodywork in the paint shop yesterday.  Should have put that off until the seat showed up.  So I had to see how the seat looked just sitting on the support frame.

That seat looks amazing, TheSneeze! Seems like a great deal given how well made it looks.

Yeah, I am very happy with the workmanship.  As soon as I saw the quality on the seat this guy made for Dan P, I knew I wanted him to do mine.  When you hold it in the sun the blue stitching just pops!  Really looking forward to the paint work coming back.

So I ran back down to the paint shop just to fetch my seat/tail piece.  He isn't starting on the paint for three or more weeks, so I needed to fit check my design and mounting.  I have to say Chris at Tough Sides did an amazing job!  I love the way the front of the seat follows the lines on the stock tank.

Man, that tank has never looked better! The lines of the tank, seat, and tail section are perfect! Well done.

Thanks!  My new steering head bearings came today, and the fork seals yesterday.  Now I have what I need to reassemble the forks and the front end.  Soon she will be a roller again...

I agree Edub, all the lines on this thing flow perfectly.  Even the angle of the rear shocks compliment the look of the tail section & tank.  Looks factory.  I’m lovin it.

I started on my inner rear fender today.  Still some fine tuning, but plastic is easy to work with.
