Great work. I like the composition. I would fill the opening between seat and frame. The seat looks this way borrowed from another bike.

Hey palepainter! Good to hear from you. The shorty exhausts sounds good! I prefer a bit of a louder sound for my bike (Rather have them hear me coming than not hear me at all). Right now it is loud but tame, a good thing is the inside insulation is easily removable to make it as loud as you would want to pretty much straight pipe it.

Wow. That frame looks good. I'm thinking about buying a second motor to referb from the ground up. Maybe I'll start with a frame and work my way up.

Thank you!!! I am honored to be the BOTM! I'm still making small tweaks on the bike, I'm sure it will never be "done", but I loved the process of building this bike and I hugely appreciate the community here! anim-cheers1

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
