Some people have suggested putting a nanner on here. I tested the look a few days back and didn't care for it.

After work yesterday I was sitting in the shop staring at the bike and I notice s monark springer front in a box behind it. The springs reminded me of the spoiler springs and then I thought it might be cool to have a suspension sissy bar (like bighit did with Supervillian). Well I had to try and mock it up from there.

I really don't feel this, but I figured I'd post up the mockup anyway.

I like the banana seat.
But........ I try put banana seat on everything.

The seller hasn't posted any more, but you can check with him here. https://www.ebay.com/str/bike-central?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

You got the last one! Ahhh!

Yep, saddle=yes
Banana =no

Like I said, I pretty much wasn't feeling the nanner on this build, but I had to mock it up. I do like the springer pan though. I already have a cool paint scheme for it too. I'll have to rebuild and straighten parts of this seat, but I am pretty certain it's a keeper

 

[kingfish254]

To me, man, it's all about that frame. You don't need all that other stuff unless it improves the ride (IMHO)

You have a very special frame there. Let it shine, bro, let it shine!

I love it when someone has a passionate opinion.
After building a Twin Bar, a Silver King, and a Hawthorne Twin (5 bar). It's not my first rodeo with a special frame. I truly get what you are trying to say, but at the same time, you know I can't just go stock. Anyone can do that, and it's just not my way of having fun with these build offs. I am all about experimentation and mock ups and I show it all even if I don't intend on using it.
No matter how cool or special the frame and parts may be, I am more likely to "keep it stupid" than to "keep it simple".

Here is my roughed out idea for the seatpan. Three holes in the top pan. Accent color for the bottom pan. Then some checkerboard pattern on the top pan.

 

[kingfish254]

The checkered bar tape came in to. Here is a test sample of it.

 

[kingfish254]

It's after Memorial Day, so I think it's fashionably okay to mix checkerboard with holes.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Maybe flip the seat colors, checkered in the holes to match the rim...

Carl.

Edit: Oh wait! Your rim doesn't have holes like some do....

That could still be cool. I'll keep that in mind, but I like the first draft of my seat art. We'll see how it shakes out.

Race Rat! I like the checkered seat idea.

Circles and squares? What's next, stripes and plaid?

Here are some more pics of the other day. Once I put the pan saddle on, I wanted to test the holey fins. Ever since I scaled down the mock up of these, I not quite sure I have the right size or if I will even keep them. But here goes for reference purposes. I may just scale them back a bit more. Gonna wait until I finish the seat to decide what works best.

 

[OddJob]

The other part of the fin equation is, they do hide some of the effect of the checkerboard rims. And with the proposed checker seat cover, without the fins it might 'flow' better. Just spit ballin' here.

You have the Masters Degree in doodaddery. I'm just an undergrad when it comes to the College of Ratrodtology.

 

[kingfish254]

Here is some more mock up experimental fun that I had with Holeshot. I pulled out the stock screamer butterfly bars.

This gives you some perspective on how scaled up and cool the Mothra bars are

THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL ONLY AND WILL NOT BE USED THIS WAY

 

[Brian macumber]

Mothra bars definitely better

 

[HuffnPuff]

I actually prefer the lower bars, but I'm not into the massive ape hanger thing.

 

[kingfish254]

While I had the original Screamer butterflies, I mounted them up on the upper stem.
