Build write up in detail (ex-Just saying hi)

[scabber]

Like the bike. Good job with the fabrication skills and build quality is outside the box. Like the exhaust very creative with the brass. Now is time to enjoy the ride.

Thanks scabber, Oddjob - I appreciate the kind word.

Let's do some more writing up today hey
Next was getting and trying out some polishing equipment

... and then - sorting out all of the cuts caused by those who chopped the frame before me:

welding the brackets on properly:

After all that done - I started seriously disliking some factory welds

before:

after:

at last - time for making the seat good - no cutting corners this time

Now the real fun starts - trying to stretch all of that leather round the shape. I really did have some doubts about my abilities, but after couple of hours of sweating - things started taking shape

stitch after stitch after stitch... after stitch... not a quick job I'll tell you that

Tadah!

till next time soon
