"The Salt Shaker" update 8/1 finshed

[HotRodJen]

so today ive been on the whole seat thought train ... i have a ton of fabric,... and shirts that i wouldnt mind cutting up but everything will not go with this bike .. i covered the seat with a speed crazy shirt ill post some pics im still on the fence about this one

[HotRodJen]

ugh ... so looking threw all my stuff there isnt anything that really goes with the bike to cover the seat in .. i took a speed crazy shirt and put it on but im not liking the black against the bike .
might have to check a fabric stores out thinking of a tan maybe


see? not diggin it ..
i have the bike together now but the tank and wheel discs arent on it so no pictures yet .. rides like a dream

I think a flaked turquoise vinyl would look kool on the seat....

Bike looks great....What about no fabric on the seat?

[vanilla_gorilla]

i might have some stuff layin around

i don't think its the black t shirt, its that pink that clashes with the bike.

what about white leather with a similar texture to a baskett ball? (i think it would look hot) you could purchase leather dye/leather paint and go in any direction your little heart desires.

why not take a crack at striping the seat also (paint or embroidery thread)

just ditch the speed t. your right, it's not doing a thing for your build

This the best whitewall/blackwall tire cleaner I know of.
Available at most mainstream auto parts stores.

I always have a bottle or two of this stuff for detailing my car. It practically melts off the brake dust and grime that builds up on tires.

this weekend ill be away from the salt shaker but i will probley hit up atleast one fabric store or find something yard selling .. i was actually thinking of doing hand stiched pinstriping if i found the right fabric

[feuerdog]

I'm thinkin' there should be some lime green in the seat color(s),.....it wouldn't have to be all green, just something that ties into the frame colors.
