Definite maybe

Welcome from the South Bay.

Here it is after my test ride. I just need to figure out the stand.

Took a trip to Goodwill today and picked up a couple of leather bags for $6 each, should be able to cover 4 seats with these. Used contact cement to glue cover and reassembled seat. On the bike. Also installed shifter, grips and pedals, just need a stand and this one should be done...

I may be in the minority, but I like the mock up tank better than the rendering. It has a look sort of like an Airflow, and I really like the cut in style line. Though not as sleek it has a more masculine feel.

This makes me want to start looking for a girls spaceliner.

Wheels installed

I got the front wheel laced and trued. Rear is laced, I just have to rebuild the hub and true it.
