My project

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to differ with some people here. That's not just pretty hot; that's really really damn hot. That's an awesome job, and an inspiration to me, though I've been taking a slightly different route to it. I really like that rear cowling. It finishes something that'd be otherwise unfinished.

How does it look from the rear and rear 3/4 angle?

Cool looking man. Thats somewhat what I have in mind for my 81 1100E:



I'm thinking of chopping the back end, making a solo saddle and cowl like you have, and upgrade the front and rear to modern rubber and shocks. I'm gonna use the tank and side covers still- I may even use the existing rear cowl, just lose the little extenders for it and make it a one seater. I'll use the headlight and gauge pod from an 83 model- I obviously like that look! Of course this is all after I buy a new cam chain, clutch and new rings and hone, and do all the valve seals, replace second gear, weld and balance the crank.... uggg. I got a long way to go.

Anyway, really like the look of that 1000 shafty, man! Keep us posted with your progress, I'm interested in what you come up with for a seat. You obviously aren't afraid to tackle the cosmetics!

WetLeather is basicly an internet mailing list of like minded people. Good people, good bikes, good food, good beer........

Pardon my ignorance if I come across that way, I am not used to working on bikes.

What did you do for the seat and the tank?

The tank is 100% stock so nothing at all has been done to that.

The Original seat Has been put aside and I made a base plate out of 3mm alloy,and I will hand that over to the upholsterers to fashion a seat for me,I had to make a new cowling as the one in the photo and the others that i made do not have any way of fixing the back padding to, I thought that they might have glued the padding but that is not the way they do it.

as soon as I figure out how to post more than 1 photo,I will show all my project photos.
