So it's not perfect, but a hell of a lot better then the drop seat...... Pulled the line off the bottom of the tank..... Should have a lot better flow..... Seat is going to be almost the same position.

I have to admit I always thought the frame looked odd the way it dropped off after the tank. This should look much better.

Also looks like you will now have a rigid rear end.

I saw what looked to me to be a pivot point, but what something looks and actually is can often be different.

Keep up the good work.

That... wow. The white startled me. I like it.

And thank you for getting rid of the drop seat. I hate that style.  ;D

It certainly looks beautifully done. I'd imagine that once the engine and frame are painted, that may tie it all together. Hard to visualize as it is now. I like the colors, just be curious as to the final product.

The red grips have me scratching my head though...?

Well the colors were supposed to be a faded barn red, which would have matched the coke bottles....... Instead I got burgundy ....... I'm looking for some root beer colored ones now

I think the bare metal look fit better with the overall concept.

Pan looks familiar like a bicycle one, not sure of brand.. But looks like deep pan or high padding.

The seat is cool. It has a very Brooks look to it (cycling seat from England). I really like this style of bike and would love to build one after my 500 cafe is done. Really nice attention to detail man.
