my brother in law had a seat that looked close to that on his harley. he said that it almost had "grip" and he never had a complaint about it beside it sitting in the sun and getting up to about a million degrees. thats in the cali sun though. other than that......

Some grip would be nice, I slide around on the stock seat when I wear my work slacks.

So I had some free time and a little motivation so I pulled the front fender and sanded it down and primered it.



I'll see if I have the time to do the other plastics soon.

I was thinking doing the tank and plastics in black and keeping the frame red.

Here's a chop Mr. Warthog did for me quite a while back.


I'm not 100% sure yet though. I'm open to suggestions.

That looks good, but you need to paint up the motor, too.
