Got the seat finished and installed. Now to level out and make a new way to mount/bolt the back of the tank. Looking good so far. Can't wait to bob the fenders and throw some yellow on that tank and side covers.

Looks like you can "plot" your photoshop ideas quite precisely! :D

Thank you. I appreciate that. I was a little surprised as well how similar it looked. I super pumped to get some paint on the tank and covers. But I have to figure a way to mount/affix the rear of the tank. The bolt hole didn't line up.

I think I can machine or fabricate something though. Nice that I have lots of metal at my disposal.

To make a '72 CB450 fit on a '81 CB650 frame is tough, and I made due with what materials I had.
