Reworked the seat pan, angles were bothering me. Flows much better now.

I'm digging the sweeping look of that seat. Seriously going to be a killer bike.

Man... I don't really want to do any irreversible modifications to my Goldwing, but I might have to do something like that with my seat...That looks so good!

Progress. First time in a while its been able to roll. I love the stance. I'm more excited now to get this on the road before it gets warm.

I love it! I was wondering what you were going to do about the shock mounts. Closer pics of the mounts?
