Reassembly begins. I have a feeling it will take longer than I anticipate. Still lots to paint. I'll put it all together tomorrow so I can get an idea what she'll look like. Visualizing what it will look like is good motivation to keep plugging along.

Made the upper triple clamp. Still have to cut the pinch slot and drill/tap. It's kind of slabular right now, needs some pockets or arrays of holes. But it will do for now.

I'm liking it. Now I just need a seat, paint the tank, fenders, side panels, exhaust, all new wiring, battery box, fork stops, mount for the tail light, rebuild the controls, new rear sprocket and chain, build inner fender and tons more crap I don't want to think about. Oh, and my forks tubes are bent so I got to straighten those, or maybe find some.

Thanks guys. I'm pretty set on the seat I want. I'm taking the pan to an upholsterer very soon. Just need to do some shaping on the seat foam to get the right feel/shape first.

Shape look good to me...only thing to check is the edge on the seat. Too square and it will dig into your legs. Looks like you took care of that to some degree but its a personal feel deal. I personally like tha edge to be rounded off but I'm on the short side so its more noticable to me.

I rounded it quite a bit, but I'm 6'6" so the seat before didn't bother me that much except it pitched me a bit too far forward. Took care of that too.

Didn't really like the look of the clip-ons and they limited the turning radius. Made some clamp hardware and bent some pipe to drag bar dimensions. I think it looks better. Didn't have a radius cutter at home so the clamps are a bit square. Now I'll order up some drag bars.
