We have 3 fulltime bike mechanics and customizers, a leather worker and artist in our lil group here. The AK Hard Knocks. I'm a custom jeweler as well as a custom bike builder. Started chopping My bros CB750 DOHC today..lot trickier than a SOHC.

Thanks crash. Thats my business logo on my seat. My XS is getting something like that in a month or two. We have a big buildoff in Vegas in April that we're competing in... so we're both doing a number of seats and custom parts to raffle off at the show.

are you going to fully restore the bike from ground up?

Yep crash...been working on it for 6 years collecting parts from 6 continents thru webrings and ebay. I gave my 66 scrambler to my dad to build a flat tracker and decided to restore my Monza to original. I love the look of it and lots of other vintage bikes. Especially Ducatis Nortons BSA Triumph and Vincents. I have dibs on a 55 Norton 500. I built my HardKnock to look like a Ducati bobber and my XS will have a lot of triumph influence..with more HP and less $..lol

Fabbed up my battery box and mounted my bomb tank for my electrics. Tacked on my rear caliper stay and fabbed a bracket for the master cylinder this week.

Looks like you might have to rotate those seat bungs forward a little bit depending on what seat you use.

My seat will back aways and i'm gonna run Hairpin springs. The bungs are just tacked until all my stuff gets here.
The kicker and many other parts for XS chops I got @ JoeWiseguy on Ebay. He's in Marysville WA
