Really nice Brassneck, love the exhaust note.
Thanks Everyone. I'm pretty happy with it. Looking forward to warmer/dryer weather so I can take it for a longer, and more spirited ride. 
Got it - I see how you did the seat frame and it’s simple and easy to do - thanks Brassneck!
I will bookmark this.

One of the key things I have learned about cafe bikes is that the bottom of the fuel tank and the bottom of the seat should form a straight line and that line should be parallel to the top of the sidecovers. That is why Brassneck wanted to lower the front of his fuel tank an inch or so.
Check it out - the prettiest cafes all have that geometry.

…here is how his bike looked before lowering the front of the tank….
…and here is how it looked after the tank was lowered.
