I can only dream about that level of workmanship and expense. Did you do the seat yourself? I'm still a bit concerned at taking the grinder to my frame to dispose of all the bits that are no longer required and let the repositioned tail site better. I'll have to bite the bullet though.

Seat is a Unatec z-butt. They do a shorter z650 version which is very popular/common with the fighter builders but i try to do my own thing and went for the unpopular 900 version instead which was a wise descision in the end i think. As for the redundant frame lugs :?: JUST DO IT :D

Just got home from Streetfighters photo shoot. Shame about the scantily clad young lady getting in the way of the bike but i'm sure there will be some clear shots of it when the mag comes out. Must admit though, the bra hanging off the handlebars did compliment the paintwork :D. Don't know which issue it will be in yet but will inform one and all as soon as i know.
