Recovered my seat over the weekend . I figured I had a big piece of leather just getting dusty on the shelf so if it didn't work out I would get over it. Gave it a bit of an antique or a worn finish and slapped it on the bike. On another note, I took it for a spin on Saturday , seems awesome except for a witness mark on my front tire from it touching the bottom of the shock. Hopefully I can take the front damper apart and add a bumper to limit the suspension just a hair.
I was worried about that
ReplyDeleteJacob, 2.5" out = no problem. 2.75 " out rubs a little . its super close and only when I hammered on the brake to bottom out the suspension did it touch. So as long as I can hack the shock it will be golden. Was super nice to ride it chopped like that, I did the hands free test at about 40 mph and had no issues.
ReplyDeleteSeat looks much better Ry!
ReplyDeleteThanks , the flames really clashed and the other one looked stupid.
