If you're worried about how many calories are in beer, is losing weight really your biggest problem?

I hope a couple more weeks. Need to get the rearsets, send them off to powdercoating along with the new clip on pieces. Send the tank and tail for painting. Put it on and ride.

just my opinion but if you're going for the cafe-ish look, i've seen your type of seat' light set up sectioned and shortened, to make a bobbed seat pan. looks very cool.

i would love to see a pict of that, i have thought that would be a nice option, but I am in no rush. I like how the seat looks well enough now, and i like having the storage underneath.

here are a few shots of my seat inspiration.
the honda pict is from the forum, I think that its a member bike.

both bikes are real nice. that first seat i'm about 90/99.9% sure is an omar's seat.

i'll see if i can find the image of the short seat, but yeah storage space is nice too.

Im glad someone got that. It was one of those things you say to yourself & chuckle, but when you share it, its not the same.

god do i feel dumb. i kept saying to myself "what the hell does that mean?" it is funny! to those with a clue.

my only defense was that my brain was in 'scot' mode and know guiness to be irish. couldn't make that small leap. ;D
