  1. Thank you!

    The seat unit is now in shape, next job is to make the actual seat… Not cut it to the end shape yet, still pondering! I must work on my photoshop skills!

  2. A for me, but can’t be certain till I see it in orange!
     
  3. B for me - but with a little more of a swoop on the underside sortov following the curve of the tyre.
     
  4. D
     
  5. Still undecided on the seat shape but that can wait… for now I have also made the seat base. I bonded in some alloy plates for the rivinuts to secure into. It fits rather well!

  6. One thing I have often regretted is not fitting a steering damper… they are difficult to retro fit so I decided to fit one to this bike… This entailed making a lug which I wanted to be a tight fit on the frame…I didn’t have a 30mm cutter, So I used a fly cutter adjusted to size!

  7. Nice - & you don't need to tell me about retro fitting steering dampers - it took me, ooo months, to add one to the V-Raptor because of all it's front end fairing & gubbins. Plus I had nowhere near the technical/engineering skills of yourself.
