Still continuing with Double Ugly. I go pick up the completely rebuilt seat tomorrow. It’s in aqua green and gray , also new arm rests on door and covered in the same grey. The aqua green is also the paint color of interior , not exactly the same but close with teal seatbelts and a sparkling light blue shift knob. Not exactly like stock but not real fancy , still retains a stock appearance bench style seat. Had to get seat out to get stuck drivers door off to get at pedals. Oh yeah this ain’t no can of worms , it’s a freakin 55 gal drum of worms. Keeps me busy , be driving it sooner than later. It’s so old it doesn’t need smogged , cheaper to register & insure , gonna be a fun truck.
Still on multiple bike projects too. Summer is here too hot most days to work outdoors so I’ll be back on Half Pint here real soon !    

hate rev limiters with a passion.

Rev limiter = mechanical handcuffs

Soooo, once you have it, are you going to mount it ? 🤔

Ruttly your not going to like the RE 350 bikes.   They  ALL   have a RPM LIMITER and all but the Hunter have a "SPEED LIMITER" that cuts off a 120kph.    
Max HP is at 6100 rpm but it's Super Power shines at 2000-4000 rpm.  

I had my tracker out the other day. Little choke , let her warm up & her idle stabilize. Rolling across the lawn , stand up on the pegs , over the curb and as soon as my as$ hit the seat , like a flash I was on it  , instantly one with the machine. This happens here & there , recognizing it , I head out of town to let her hair down. Farmland might be boring so I make the best of it , nice long straight 4th then 5th breeze and sun on my back. Thank god for utube or maybe online porn but I went by a parked in the shade under a tree county sheriff at 93 mph and he never even looked up ! Evasive action not needed just kept throttle wide open. Bike was perfect , we were one , like water. Even got to tag my favorite gravel patch intersection , came in maybe a bit hot I drifted thru the gravel ,  right up to the shoulder and then those Dunlop 404s saved my as$ again ! Great ride , maybe she won’t do the ton but in my eyes she is plenty fast and provides plenty of thrills. The seat may hurt me after a spirited ride but I love riding what I build , every build should top the last one ! Not so sure I can top this build !
