OK, have the rear fender mounts made, seat pan and now I am tooling the leather for my pan. Here are some updated photos. For reference I am 6' tall.

Nice leather work, Is your seat hard mount?

Ripper_Rudnick

Thanks.....no, the seat is mounted to a shock and spring. You can kinda see the spring in the second photo from the top. There is a seat pan framework that the pan bolts too. I finished lacing the saddle up last night.......it is going to match the paint I have laid out for it as well...Dark Brown and Buckskin.

where did you get the fender? And what kind of tank do you have on there?

Ripper_Rudnick

The rear fender came from Craig Tirey....I cannot seem to find his phone number, but his email address is

scrapmetalart @ yahoo.com

The fenders some as a blank, so modification might be needed. He can make you whatever width you want and does excellent work! Tell him Dave From Twisted Steel Customs sent you there.

The tank is off a 2001 Sportster 3.3 gallon. To accomodate the length, I extended the backbone back 7", which also allowed me to do a drop seat design without messing up the air cleaners.
