my 4 week build is coming along nicely. I have finished my subframe, fixed my tank, mounted the r1 tail and seat, 750 engine is up and running and realised that i enjoy building the bike as much as riding them! how good does it feel, 12 oclock at night to sit in that old chair, pop open a beer, light a smoke and just sit and look as your machine takes shape

that seat looks huge from this angle :D
what about shortening it slightly? since you are just using it as a single seater any way??

Good call, too many guys are going waaaayyy too long with the tail.

But hey, thats just my opinion, I guess some guys might like a long one to sit on...lol[:p]

sorry i didn't mean to start anything, i think i like mspaint far to much :D
i think you should shorten it while you still have he chance, and before you start to paint it fully :D
