No worries. I got the joke. But you're right, the seat isn't built for 300 mile trips.  ;D

Job well done! Hope the break-in goes as well. It's going to be hard not to twist it. It's going to want to take off on it's own. Don't let it sneak up on you.  ;)
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

She runs awesome. I haven't really gotten on her hard yet. She pulls great and she sounds like a top fuel dragster.

seriously good looking. thats something I may actually be able to touch the ground on. I am 5'5" and I know I aint touching with my stock I am restoring. I do want to have a backup single seat that is as low as possible for me to get comfortable. next build ;)
