        Coming along nice! Interesting idea to weld the handlebars like that. Saves you from having wear your reading glasses to read those tiny little gauge numbers I guess. Or maybe youre really short?

                  You want some contact adhesive for your foam, comes in a spray can. I just used it tonight to stick some rubber to some aluminium for my tool tray.

                  I also used it to stick my two layers of foam together for the seat and to stick it to the seat pan ready for the upholsterer.

                    echoing what pete said. Use 3m adhesive in a can.
                    Spray both parts and let them get tacky then assemble. You don't need a lot, enough to cover. wear gloves

                      Foam to foam I use the 3m. Foam to pan I use gorilla glue, but you don't have and curves you're forcing the foam to conform to so spray glue should be just fine there.

                      How are you securing the leather to the seat? If it's wrapping around the bottom edge, take precautions to make sure the edge doesn't tear through the leather. If you scroll down to the top of post 4 here, you can sorta see the automotive door trim around the edge of the seat pan I used on that seat(they were out of black, haha).

                            Looks good, but those clip-on's can't make for a comfortable ride mounted so low. I would think if you either moved them up to right under the top triple, or above on the fork legs that you pushed through it would be much more enjoyable on rides of any real length.

                            That aside though the paint on the tank looks great!

                              Needs a fender and a seat. Nice clean up job on the engine.

                                Looks good! If you need the Suzuki emblems for the tank, I have 'em. PM me.
