I think I want to see bigger pics and more details on mounting the light to the bottom of the seat :)

Looks great - always liked that clean look.

try using the flash on your camera and zoom :)  I'd like to see more detail also.

I've been in a "Shady Bar" hangin' around with "Shady Characters" making "Shady Dealings", but never in a "Shady Garage".  Cool looking Cafe, by the way.

It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness... I'd like to see your bike sometime.

I love that naked rear-end look, too; but I think it doesn't fit to the original seat.

IMO you need a cafe-style  hump like the guliari seats have. The underseat light is a nice idea, but I second the call for brighter pics.

Cheers, Remi

Sweet. Are those Buell blinkers? How is the visibility of the tail light? Does the position of the grab bar interfere?

Looks cool, but I think you should get an extra front fender, chop it short, and loose the little bars that mount to the forks.  It would offset your naked rear :D I think.  Just my .02.   

Kinda like this.....plus another cool bike for the hell of it.
