Built Thread: Hardtail '78 750 with floating seat

[elcornus]

Was cleaning up some stuff and found a copy of 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.' Flipped to one of two bookmarks in the whole thing and this is what it said.

Greatest book ever written, well that, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Must say I really like your imagination with this bike. It really does look good if you would have described your intentions I would have thought you were building a rat bike. Looks awesome.

BUT... What is up with this seat lately.... it is everywhere now.... argghhhh are you guys sharing it around from member to member, you must really stop because that is truly one ugly seat.

Haha, thanks. I dunno about saying it looks good though. I'd say it looks fun (and acts the part well). Intentions are definitely best described as rat, but I don't get too wrapped up in classifying it obviously.

As to the seat, unless someone pulled it out of my trash I'm not to blame for it reappearing!:lol: I'm not even sure which model it was from. Was a little short and had mismatched hinges, so maybe a later L if it was even from a suzuki? Story was the previous previous owner's girlfriend had slashed the original seat and paint when it was parked outside another girl's house.

Yeah, it's a good one. The bait didn't work though; no one has chimed in with theories on what personal problems I built into this thing
