        the seat is mounted to the cross bar behind the battery. the seat pan came with 4 bolts installed. i used pipe clamps that have one hole for a bolt. the rear fender is mounted to the same bar but with u-bolts

              Dan mate that looks cool.
              I dont know why but it kind of reminds me of a WWII tank. Could be the colour.

                      Bubba I think I like your's the best. The side cover is nice and trimmed. The fairing doesn't look too bad either

                        It does look pretty slick. I like Dan's too, but the only problem i see with it is getting the tank to look like that could turn into quite a chore. But, nothing a deadblow and some body filler couldnt pull off..hehehe

                          Nice job, Bubba. That side cove really fits nicely with the rest of the lines. Since we're all fantasizing about a bike the owner staunchly defends as a minimal investment while I'm at school kinda bike, I think a smaller tank would really help the whole look of the bike. Maybe a tank about 2/3 or 3/4 the size of the original would help the lines. Is it me, or do the front and back wheels look like 2 different type of wheels?

                            I don't know guys. to each his own but I personally don't really dig the bobber look. I like em more as they were from the factory with some period mods. Not that I don't admmire ones creativity to modify their bikes to their own liking. I see all these classic bikes getting chopped up when they really were in pretty darn good shape to begin with. Now if you had a bike that was in poor shape than I would say have a field day.

                              I agree with doug g. Shoulda left it alone. Any mods that don't improve the function of a bike won't ever look right. Sorry.

                                I prefer the look from the factory too or the cafe modified look however if the guys wants to mess around with it then why not.... there are enough of them about still.

                                Personally I want to try & keep two cans (mufflers) & the airbox because I prefer the look but many have 4:1 & pods, this is really only the same deal at it's extreme.
