looks very clean so far. your seat hump flows well with the tank.

very cool, i don't know if you are planning to keep the polished tank look but that is what i'm doing to my special.

 

[Johnt3]

I really like what you have there. Keep up the good work.

I'm trying to paint the frame and swingarm to black epoxy paint, the seat and the tank will stay raw, then I will reassemble the engine with long intake mainfolds, Mikuni VM34 and aluminium velocity...

Thanks for sharing
So that seat clears the stock rear frame hoop?

 

[ricco]

I cut the stock rear loop and I made a welded sleeving loop / seat
