thanks and heres the basics for the seat....i still need to make the pivot for the front and the frame but you get the jist of it...
Image and yes i know on a solo the springs are supposed to face the opposite way but i dont weigh that much so i dont need alot off bounce and these are rated for over 300#s :wink:

Looking very good! Yeah that pic with the car behind it looks like the fender on the car could be a part of the top tube on the bike. Hmmmm......I'm getting an idea!

I love the stance of your bike. Have you tried out the riding position yet? how does it feel?

in this pic there looks like there is some sort of half tank in the bike. I know its the rails from your rod but it actually would look really good with a tank of that shape
Image
But then again, I could be totally wrong.
