Little more progress on my build

[gsryder]

Just figured I would share a few pics. Finally got to roll her out into the sunlight.......but I still have a long way to go.
if you are interested you can view the whole build here http://forum.oldskoolsuzuki.info/cgi-bin/Yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1261158927;start=all

Waiting on back ordered pistons so just starting to get the rest of the small stuff bolted on and sorted, like I said still got a long way to goray:

sorry matey but if you ever want to ride that bike in public, you gotta lose that seat hump. its hideous and spoils what looks like a nice build. just my opinion

Ya know as odd as it may sound I agree with ya.
The rest of the bike looks awesome as hell but something is too large about that tail section.

I cant say I disagree with you. It was my first attempt at making a cafe seat from scratch. It will probably stay on for the initial test and tune or until I can design and make something else. Only part the makes it difficult is that is where the battery goes (in the hump) so I need to either get a smaller battery maybe AGM style that I can lay on its side or get real creative and come up with something else totally different:-k

Whats wrong with putting it under the seat?

I like the overall look and I am sure it will be sweet but I have to agree with everyone about the tail. The third picture it looks like a skull cap.

Saving room for the turbo

Keep up the good work but lose the tail section. First attempt or not, that thing does not flow with the lines of the bike. Maybe if it wasn't so tall it would look better.

Can you recess the battery down between the frame rails a bit to lower the top of the tail section? Not sure if that will lower it enough or if it will start encroaching on suspension travel...

Other than that it's looking real good.

 

[gsryder]

Pete, yes I probably could but......I am going to be completely redesigning the seat for a two up style anyway.

In that case I'll just wait and see how you go... given the rest I reckon you'll do a bang up job
