RIDE-ON

[Vin-New]

When you laid a piece of the shaggy sheepkin on the seat a few pages back, I thought you were just joking around and I think I even used the "laughing" reaction. But this shorter shaven sherpa cover looks awesome! Especially how you trimmed it up tight to the saddle pan. Well done. Now you have a big bad wolf in sheeps clothing.

Here is the Sherpa cover off and showing the elastic side.. it’s not fully sewn in just stitched every inch around, felt I had more control on shaping it, also a pic of the actual seat, planned to spray mount it but didn’t want to ruin the Patina

Nice use of the bookend! All ‘round looking good!

Great solution. Don't paint that perfect seatpan patina. But do watch out for the longspring posts don't break through it. I don't know if you can shore it up underneath at all.
The guard choice is great along with the cool hood ornament plane!

Chain guard mount, I’ll need to remove the bracket, looks to have four spot welds and not fully welded on..Trying to salvage the bracket for remount.

Very cool build! I'm really liking the big tires, springer and seat. The whole motif really comes thru. I really like how the bike's personality stuck with it throughout the build. Looking good, nice work!

Swapped out the crankset and chainring, tht this one looked better with the build.

One last twist at the end, I will attempt to match the Logo.. swap out to RED tires tonight.

Waiting on weather to COOL off before going on a ride for my Final Photos today!
(Keep in mind my Salinas weather averages in the low to mid 60’s sometime low 70’s).

Back from the ride!
Felt great to get out in this nice weather when it’s not Burning You!
Got some nice unfiltered photos from Sunlight getting ready to set!
Natural orange/gold tone.

Well done love it. Just way cool. I'm glad you went with the thick bricks. Time to hit the salt flats and see what it will do.
