Hi from Maine

[elderarrows]

Great forum! Long time reader, first post. My current projects are an 81 gl1100 and an 81 gl500. Both getting as naked as possible. Less is more. If you need parts for either let me now as I have a bunch of fairing parts etc.

Custom diy seat by previous owner who was really tall. I am attempting a new cafe seat build now. My first foray into fiberglass. I'll let you know how it goes.

Interesting design for a seat pan. Are you planning to incorporate the tail light into it?

 

[joedrum]

yep i agree nice seat pan .. opcorn:

It's my first attempt at anything to do with fiberglass. Definitely a learning curve, but I am liking the way its shaping up so far.

Obviously the passenger seat frame bump was sacrificed. Might need some advice as far as managing tire clearance with rear shock travel. The hope is a longish lowish profile brat tracker type seat that can do 2up when called upon.

I am thinking of going with a flexible led combined tail/brake/directional setup to follow the contour of the tail loop section which is currently still yellow due to its former life as part of a Michigan loader

Good times.

Now I need a nice big headlight bucket....
