looks great!...right down to the seat trim.  Maybe I missed it but how and/or where did you get such nice seat trim?  That trim is often an uggy spot for the F models.

The painter painted it after I had removed the OEM tape and polished it. He then used a Vinyl Tape for a fine line, and then painted the same color. He did a great job, you can't tell that is paint or tape.

You must have had straight trim pieces to start with...that's fortunate.  I'm on my fourth f bike and have not seen a straight piece yet. lol
