    Nice seat covering project.

    The plans I have for the seat are probably to take somewhere and get one of those snap on covers made for it. The one like you see on all of the pre-made cafe tail sections. The cover on mine has to be removable. Under the seat pan is where all the electrics and such is and the tail section is a permenent fixture of the bike. So the cover itself must be removable so I can take the pan off and access the wiring if need be. Anyway, thanks for the comments.

    On a side note. Put some new tires on yesterday and finally got to take it up the road for a real test ride. This thing hauls! It doesn't way hardly anything with all that power? The engine didn't blow and I don't have any oil leaks after a few trips to readline (13,000 rpm).\\/ So now all I need is a tag (and mufflers and a seat) and were ready to go.

    later,

      wow, is this the standard my track 550 has to hold up to? I'm scared. :-) Great job.
