Looking good. Where did you get your seat?

Thats a crazy restaoration, did you do it ? did you change the foam also ?

I know that the german CB750 club have both the guallardo foam and cover :)
Please ! Take a look and give me feedback in my project thread, its much needed :)

all the work was done by my trusted upholstery who obviously changed the foam too...

i love this seat and i have a genuine badge for it, just don't want to do it myself with the risk of spoil the entire seat

in the meantime i mounted the clip-on just to discover that i need to mod the fork stopper because the clipon hit the tank... too bad...

i also mounted new fork gaitors and i'm really happy about how they looks

today i machined the new tachometer support using a sheet of 2 mm thick brass...

came out ok, i still need to cut the key hole, and maybe redone it shorter...

but i'm pleased of the looks it have

Like the tach bracket. Why the RPM gauge and the MPH or KPH gauge

right on Stumpo...if you are going to have just one, the tach is the one you want for a performance bike.  It doesn't take long to learn how fast you are going at any given rpm in any given gear.
If it works good, it looks good...

yes we have them... even too much!!!

in fact i'll mount a really small speedo too, just to know how fast i'm going in front of speed traps... ahahahah

but seanbarney is damn right... it will take some time, but with a little practice you could understand how fast you're going reading only the rmp

Thought so, but never see pics of the bike out on the road in your beautiful country.
