    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Depends on the seat. I have one thats 13 by 13, another thats 9 wide by thirteen long.

Dont know if that will help you out or not, but there you go.
 
Thanks Theo and Henry, these are very useful information! I will try to make a cardboard model of the seat (easier than cutting iron :)).

jonny-rock,
Forward controls are made on lathe.
 
Today I was with an older man (a vital grandfather 76 years old) who made a spring seat for my future seat.
Later I run to a friend who helps me around the bobber motorcycle and who actually made the entire job with a hard tail chassis (he is very skilled with welding). By the way I made a couple of pictures.

I cut the triple backbone outta my 750 and used a 1 3/4" heavy walled DOM replacement. With gussets and the like, itll hold up fine. Good luck with your build.
 
WOW!!! That looks good! You and Henry are both building some nice Gs's. Can't wait to see the finished product. With that Sportster tank a lot of people are gonna do a double take thinkin its a Harley w/ a Suzuki motor.
 
Thanks, but it would be unfair of me to say that I (am) doing something of this alone, friends and local artisans helps in many ways and my task is just to put everything together. I am looking at the work of Henry and I can say that he is to me in many ways a pattern.
Work around my bobber will have to wait for some time because must assembly one streetfighter.
 
lot of things in the meantime are done and i want to show you the current situation. motorcycle is not yet finished, but concept can be seen how i imagined this bike. i hope soon to start engine for the first time.






 
Nice Kruns! Sure has come a long way from where it started!

Well done!
