Thanks Man. It seemed like the best place. My buddy Dave and I like the look too.

Yeah.... Pretty much the same thing for me. I've been busy doing seats and other misc leather work, prototyping some slick new stuff. Waiting to finish up a customers drop seat hardtail, then ill be able to get my build off bike back in the jig. I'm hoping for next weekend.

Stuff update...Top and bottom of my seat and the rear tire just showed up. A buddy out east is doing the seat for me.... I'm trying to put a couple other people's work out there when I roll this bike out. My friend at Atom Engineering is doing the engine work and zombie shawn will be doing the paint work. Every thing else will be done and made by this guy.

livingdeadmc, Your seat sure is fine! I don't think I have ever seen a bottom of a seat look so good too.

 

[livingdeadmc]

Thanks! I wanted the bottom of the seat to match my bottom! BABY GOT BACK!

 

[Irish_prick]

i love ur seat and thats how i feel bout some of mine

Guess I should chime in. I have got some work done on the frame. Order the Brat kit from Visual Impact, but It's didn't fit. Little did I know or Mike for that matter, a 72 frame is narrower and shorter than tha later models. So after some talk. I sent my frame to him to get a kit that would fit properly. I got it back and have gotten my new shocks. got the neck bearings and thats about as far as I have got. Being self employed I have to work when the work is there.

What do you guys think about a tuning fork strut?
