Seat Mold Progress.  I'm making a 2 part mold because of the shape of the tail.  In the end I'll be able to make multiples, so if anyone is interested in buying one let me know.

Good stuff. Love that single gauge setup. I wonder if anybody has a tach and speedo melded into a single gauge.

Hmmmmmm, I never even thought about that, awesome idea.

Anybody know of a compatible speedo/tach single unit?

That's the acewell unit right? I heard those things are pretty light duty, but might be cool. I think having a tach and speedo in a single analog shebang would be rad. That'd be an engineering feat.

also just ordered a solid state Reulator/Rectifier, it seems that my parts list is never ending and I've only really done a minimal amount of work to this bike.

Same for #2, everything else looks like logos for a box of cereal.

Another vote for #2, but if you want to go with a script font I like #7.
(What font is that BTW?)

Not sure which one that is, but they al came from a site called http://www.letterheadfonts.com/typetester/typeload.php?page=/gallery/index.php.

They have lots of old signage lettering fonts.

What handlebar grips are those? They are awesome. Are they bicycle grips? If so, how hard was it to get the throttle side on? I need some brown ones to match my brown leather seat and all I can find cheap are bicycle grips.

They were about 10 bucks from Jerry's, http://www.jerryscycles.com/index.html.  I've seen them other colors places too. There are these too if you're looking for brown, http://guzzino.stores.yahoo.net/rubberparts3.html
