Here is me getting an idea of what the tail light section is going to look like:

Here is the underside of the seat pan. I did weld up some bracing on the frame that I still need to paint:

I finalized the pan for the seat builder, below is the instagram handle for the guy I am using. Decided to go with leather seat, pleats and 2" tall seat. should look good. I am going to swing by his shop and help out when I can so I can eventually do everything my self.

Damn dude, you work fast! Honestly, it probably took me a few months to do what you just did, mainly because I am horrible at making decisions.

Thanks, I have a timeline. I am moving out of my house by this fall, and I want to have all of my vehicles running without parts hanging out everywhere. This is a in-between build for me. I am getting the easy parts done right now. The hard part of taking the bike all back down, sending it out for powdercoat/paint/engine rebuild will have to wait till later. After the bike is back together and I have more disposable money, the suspension is going to be taken care of also.

Love this look, my biggest concern is with ride height. My 82 gs1100g seems to sit pretty low at the rear and the rear fender sits up inside the frame and in the concave of the stock seat (which is falling apart). Any advice on how to make sure I have enough room to add a hoop/custom seat without it destroying itself on the first speed bump i ride over?
