Beautiful Build so far.... I love that bare metal look....
And you're right the old seat would look better on that bike....
Looking forward to your polishing the hardware....

+1 This baby is lookin really Sweet! Love the headlights & the bare metal also. I'm going with bare metal also, probably because I'm lazy & that way I don't have to wait for paint to dry, or worry about scratching it once it's painted! :mrgreen: I will be watching this build, one of my favorites so far. 8)

Made a layback post and test fit the seat and tank to get a better idea of how things are going to look down the road.

Id go with a yellow on the front part of the tank then either a midnight blue or black on the outer part of the tank then a gray on the inset area with lines and rivets painted on the gray area

Wow. It wasn't until I saw it from this view that I realized how awesome the frame is. I love the way the chain stays curl up like that. Great job on the whole front end, the double headlights really fit in there great. Can't wait to see what you do with the tank, but I already like it the way it is. Can you nickel plate something like that?

Here's the thing--if you drop your laptop on the chair and so end up looking at the bike upside down, it is still cool.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.
