Short Shop Night

Got out in the shop and worked on the tail section of the suzuki gs 750...  Got the tail light mounted and everything in place...

Have been getting ahead on manifolds.  Got all the tooling set up, and have everything fitting like i want it to.  This ones all ready to be clocked and welded.

Suzuki GS 750 Brattracker

Got some time to bang out some stuff on the Suzuki GS this weekend.  Got the new rear hoop made and cleaned up.  Got a seat pan made with mounts welded.  Finished mounting the rear fender.  While I was working on foaming and shaping the seat, Lisa took to the gas tank and stripped most all the paint off of it.  Its gonna get a brushed metal finish with some clear coat.  And nursed a little hangover on Sunday while chaining myself to my sewing machine for half the day...

Get some pics of the seat on the bike later...

Ready For Surgery

Got most of what i need to do figured out on this suzuki.  Gonna chop the rear section and build a hoop with a slight kick up in the back.  Just about ready to cut.

Started some work on a custom seat today too.  Should have it foamed and ready for a cover this weekend.

Been working on sourcing all the parts for these.  The first one is finally finished!  I will be making a very small one person run of these soon, so they will be built to order for a little bit.  Please allow 1 week lead time if you plan to order soon.
