Wow pretty nice bart. Doesn't look overly cafe'd. Are we going to see it at the next backfire night?

Looks very good. Nice compromise between a cafe solo and a standard 2-up.

Thanks.I never get to go to backfire,because of my work schedule.I always mean to.maybe before the end of the season.I'm not really trying to 'cafe' it but a mild classic custom.All I need is some real paint.

Like the white stitching and pipeing,looks comfy also.What color are you planning someday for final paint.Gloss black with a white stripe or accent would pick up nice with the seat.

ohhh that is gorgeous!
can i get some details about the seat pan?
i see it doesnt roll over the edges of the frame rails...
does it swing open still? how is it attached? stock hinges?
Id love to see more pics!

in case you cant tell im trying to do something pretty similar. cut all the uneeded bulk but keep it 2 up and use the stock pan.

I have a stupid question, but for some reason every time I try and post a picture of my bike, it says the file is too big?  Not sure what I am doing wrong, do you know?

Well, I'm guessing (really, just a shot in the dark here) it's because the file is too big.

Your picture can't be more than 1MB (1,024kb). Before you upload you need to take a look at the file properties and reduce the size if necessary.
