    Frame for the seat is done. keep in mind the rear will sit 3-4" higher, off the tire, after I remove the hardtail and add nitro shocks. rear cross braces will be welded in for seat support. up next is the seat pan, side moldings for streamline look, and street tracker bubble with cutout for rear, frenched tail light. The foam padding will be from airtech streamlining and will be upholstered around a "snap-button" attachable pan. obviously, I'm making a two-seater.

      Slowly but surely, getting it all together. Every time I log into Dime City I lose 2 bills. Sigh. Getting anxious to ride!!

                          RVA - I liked it before, after the paintjob I love it.

                          Washed out shot, wide open, wasn't ready for this guy. Spotted right before entering Sea World:

                            Thanks guys, I wish I could say I owned it, but I just get to ride it and work on it (which is just as good :D ) I currently have a 76' CB360 that I cafe'd out. Don't have any pics right now but I'll post some soon. I've been dealing with a move and left my bike at my friends garage.


                            here is another one my friend built, unfortunately I was not a part of the build on this one.


                            if any of you guys are in the DC area and need bike work done, my friends are starting a shop.

                              Quoted for the record book. VERY nice work my friend, very nicely done.

                              Sure would like a report on how all the changes have impacted the ride, performance and braking of the bike as a package.
