I started on the tank mounts. The rear mount is all tacked together. I hope to finish that and get the front done today. Then I can move on to my seat mounts.

Got any close up of the seat as mounted ? Looks like you used the rear tank mount for the pivot point. How did you end up mounting the tank ?

The seat isnt mounted yet but the pivot will be built off the rear tank mount.

I got my tires mounted up. Defidently a unique look.

Thanks for the link, he has a 5" wide peak style fender on his ebay that I think is going to fit the bill.
