I like it... even though I'm still unsure about the added length. But I know you have a vision so I won't doubt it... keep up the good work.

Thanks. Once the seat goes on, you will see it. The bike looks much bigger in pics than it really is. Remember, it is a 1980 440cc. That thing is small.

Just dropped it off at the welder's place. He and I are gonna work on it tomorrow afternoon.

I keep forgetting that it's a 440 as well... I keep worrying about stability and swing arm strength, etc but then I remind myself and realize that it'll be fine.

Ok...bike is at the welder's. He and I are gonna work on it Tues night. In the meantime, I decided to finish my seat.

Got the fabric glued in place

Stitched

Trimmed

The color scheme is gonna be black with red wheeels. That's why I'm going with the red seat.

FYI...My fingers hate me for the hand stitching LOL

I'll give you "project bikes"... mofo.... you don't have projects... you have crap heeps that you leave stranded on my lift for weeks or months on end. Then do nothing with!

You want to do something... I'll get my sawzall and we'll have at that rebel in your shed that you have done NOTHING to all year.

Mofo talkin to me about projects... why I awt to.... remember mofo where you bike sits this very second. Grrrrrr

Sounds like my brother. That is how I ended up with 2 project bikes. I told him what I was doing, and he said,"find me one." So I find two as a package deal. Then his wife vetoed that shit. She was like "You've got three fuckin boats and Jeep that you've been going to "restore" for two fuckin years. Nope, the bike ain't happenin."

So now I've got a 1979 GS1000 that I need to sell
