Information on the seats, those are rad! This thing is going to be insane man, great fab work as well, very clean.

I might be stupid but doesn't the pipe look insanely thick? What is that?

I think that's a v-band fitting on the end.

Huh, I that makes sense, it just looks really weird...

Honestly if we could have we would have. Space is so limited back there. On the other side of the muffler is all of the shift linkage brackets/cables so dual exhaust just wasn't going to work....

They are Tillets. We bought them from Danny (the guy who welded the frame). I don't have much info on them besides that. They're full CF w/ suede padding. The seat brackets weigh more than the seat itself :p

Lol, good eye. See below

Correct. The angle of the picture makes it look like really thick tubing.

Thanks ;)

Got a bit done this weekend.

Hot side is powdercoated wrinkle red and the cold side is short aluminum tubes inside the couplers for clamping purposes.

Subscribed! Nice work Jay! You're progressing very fast! Very impressive! Love the aluminum console chassis & leather covering. I may have to redo the console face on mine to accommodate different gauges.
