I've heard of a 'floating' seat before, but this one takes the cake! :grin:

Got to play in the shop today working on the triple tree top. 1/2" thick plate steel may be overkill, but couldn't pass up the free scrap cut off from my metal supplier.

Welded 5/8" bolts into the top ends of the fork tubes and bolted it all up. A little bit of shaping on the top plate still to be done.

Next on the list, work on the driveline.
