Been working for about 6 weeks when we have time. Thanks to all who have helped on the board! Still have some grinding to do on the frame welds where the seat was dropped. What do you think so far?

In my opinion it's always nice to see something other than a sportster tank on these. (even though that's what I have and I like it.)

XSJohn, I see some sensitivity training is needed. 65 today is Dullaware. Went to Baltimore to get a stock seat for the 750 today so all is good.
