le mans...seat and tail...

....i thought id try and work a fibreglass norvil commando seat base for the guzz but when my mate angelo came in and saw it he told me it looked like shit....(it did look a bit droopy).... so i had to start again and make one up from alloy.....heres how it looks now.....i hate the way some guys cut the rear frame tubes off at the shock mounts so i made the decision to just shorten them and keep the original rear seat mount points for the new seat. hopefully i can start tacking it together on monday morning...the idea is to have a zip on the rear seat upholstery (ss ducaati style) and have a tool box spot inside....

don't you love when you work on something for hours and someone comes along and brings it all into focus.. and you see it from a step back all of a sudden and you know they're right. Those hours now gone..cause you know the only answer is now to scrap it and start over. I speak from experience.. humbling.

Matt - very nice tailpiece, can't wait to see the zip pocket a la Ducati SS, though in my experience you won't need to carry tools round with you on a Guz.
