They look about the same from anywhere past 3ft away.

Wow, I guess I haven't updated this in a while. I decided that the strap that goes across the seat was looking terrible so I got some Paracord and made up two different patterns to replace it. Which one do you guys think I should go with?

I think I like the second one better, but I'm open to opinions.

Ok so I've done a couple of things recently. 1st was I searched youtube for how to do a real paracord weave and now it looks a ton better, and 2nd, I 'installed' a monster energy can around the starter just for the looks. I'll get pics tomorrow. I also ordered a new rear tire from ebay which should be here on Tuesday.

On a side note, I posted awhile ago that I got a ticket for 'losing control on a canyon road' when I wrecked my bike in June. I also decided to contest it due to the fact that I didn't do any property damage, or hurt anyone, other than myself. Well today was the court date and I got it dismissed. That's $120 I don't have to give the gov. for a BS ticket. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper for a minute or two.

That's great news. Tickets like that are a excuse for your insurance company to charge you what ever they want.

Yeah it sure seems like that was the reason for the ticket.

The new one should be mounted by around 2ish, then when I get back from class I'll reinstall it.
