It is always a challenge to capture in photos the vibe we get from our creations.

I think it depends a great deal on Your camera. You know, different lenses, different apertures, different focal lengths and in the end different perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Focal_length.jpg

But You also must have the eye for it. Photo composition and shooting angle could recreate a vibe very successfully. Also light - the key element to a beautiful picture.

That frame is just wild. The fork must be really comfy with those long rockers.
 
Got this surprise in the mail from @Dr. Tankenstein today.

Didn't have time to mount it, but I did lay it on the existing cranks. It may be small but I think it's perfect for the bike. I'll just try to find a smaller rear cog to compensate.

I like the banana seat but not the sissy bar. Too many vertical lines. I'd say it needs a custom aluminum cantilevered seat post. Something that looks like the frame, like an L shape with a gusset and a series holes that decrease in diameter.

I thought about something along those lines, but I didn't really want to repeat the floating nanner that I did for SaltHammer.

I may revisit that idea though, depending on my other rear end plans.

Did an extremely poor job of photoshopping the gussetted seatpost idea, and it is just not going to allign with the other ideas I have. It was definitely worth trying out though.

I would stick with the first regular seat. Its a fairly modern seat for a fairly modern bike. I don't thonk it needs a banana. Just my opinion.

That is still my feeling as well. But you know me. I always experiment with any idea that pops in my head.

Perhaps a long spring seat to match the fork?

I have a few different longsprings, but none that I can mount on a rail style 31.6 seatpost.
 
Hmmmm, this bike looks long enough to pull off ever-the-enigma hairpin saddle....and there's holes in the springs....

Mine on my 'Hawth of a Different Color', semi-stretch.... the shadows hide the saddle a bit here. If you want a clearer picture, I can grab one later this morning.

Maybe just a decorative sissy/rack/doodad in the back to compliment the fork?

She looks cool. Def like that seat on there. Look forward to seeing more of the wares on there.
 
Maybe some ShakeNBake experiment like this?
