Someone want to buy this seat?
I'm going to make a copy of it for a friend so I'll have the mold already made if there is anyone interested.

I'll sell the original for $50 or a new one for $100.
They will be made with the supervision of an excellent surf board shaper.
USA made!

Anyone know what the best option is for converting to spokes?
I'd really like them to be tubeless rims as well.
Thinking gs spoke hub laced to a new rim so everything will line up correctly.

Sounds like the best way. Then you can choose rim size, color, and get them in lightweight aluminum. Also spoke colors. I've built some BMX wheels and it's pretty time consuming but well worth it.
You could also look into DRZ supermoto setups. I have a DRZ400 and from what I remember alot of the hub spacing and axle sizing is the same. The only downside to that is you are stuck with 17"s ( unless that's what you want) and they arent really cheap when you do find them.

Easiest for spokes is GS used. Rears are mostly drum brake I found, but wait ! Your not using rear so its all good.
I used to lace up my own motocross wheelsets ... its time consuming, and a pain to order up correct length spokes and nipple, etc. But it would be the way to fly for custom :dancing:

Ok I gotta be honest and say it sounds a little "farty" with the open pipe... might just be the sound quality on the video too of course.
I *really* like the stance though, definitely does what you're trying to achieve I think.
I thought it would look a little silly with the inverted clubmans but I think they've turned out well...

Is this a Metric Stewart Warner gauge? I've never seen one here in the states.... Reason I ask is spec on my GS750 is 3.0 kg/cm2 Min to 5.5 kg/cm2 Max (43psi-78psi) at 3000 rpm. So that would be about right...

It does sound farty but that is because its a inline 4. I much prefer the sound of a V or two stroke. I was also worried about the "clubmans" but it looks decent and feels great.

Yeah... never been a fan of open pipes on an inline 4... but that's just me
I forgot to say I like that pressure gauge too, very "authentic" for the age of the bike... nicely done again

Not to barge in, but I have a glass seat without padding I've been riding for half the season... Its actually comfier to me than the stock seat.

Wow ok...
The padding that was on my seat when I used to ride my 450 had me effectively sitting on the seat pan after about 30 min's in the saddle and I couldn't stand it, that's why I ask...

I don't mind it at all for comfort.
What I do mind is how slippery it is when Im riding hard. If I brake to hard my junk slams up against the tank.

Ouch! Maybe just even a strip of grip tape will help?
