I've decided to stick with my alloy seat for now.
Things have already ventured off the original plan to keep it simple and i would like to get it finished sometime this year if i can :lol:

BUT! here is a re-scaled image anyway.

I too favour the homemade seat, proportionally more in keeping with the tank.

Chain on and gear linkage extended to fit with some 10mm hex ally bar

Oil cooler mounting finalised with hooks for retaining strap , just needs a coat of paint to finish

Made a start on trimming the XJR front mudguard.
PICT0255_zps19d08337.jpg



But for one reason or another i wasn't happy with it
PICT0248_zps0cbc1fd9.jpg



Decided to go back to plan A and have a crack at whittling some of that alloy road sign
Guesstimated the shape i needed , cut it out and beat the crap out of it for two days until i had ....

....THIS

The last time i did this it produced a copper ash tray in second year metalwork :lol:
PICT0260_zpse42c35dc.jpg


PICT0261_zps05ce5ffc.jpg





Several hours (and blisters :( ) later a very long session with the files and course paper produced a smooth surface ready for the final finish
PICT0273_zps289a4d5e.jpg



Not bad eh?

PICT0271_zps502dacdd.jpg



Think this looks much better than the xjr one ?.
Just need to figure out the mounts now.

you need to make an English wheel.

For mudguard clearance I thought the OCC way of running a length of chain over the wheel and using that as a spacer was good.
