Hi Fireplug,Originally posted by Fireplug View Post
there's a whole bunch of code thingies under each photo,

See? Even I can do it.
BTW, welding ain't difficult. Funding a gas compatible MIG welder (the best first machine to get these days) plus a self-darkening helmet will run you at least $500.
Weld up a whole bunch of stuff that you don't care about before you weld anything you trust your life to.

Nate, yes it came with a seat, it was just sitting on the bike when i got and i have spent ZERO time on figuring out how it mounts. also been kinda hoping id come across the plastic tail piece to put on it. I think it would really help the cafe look im going for.
PD, right now I have a deal brewing to trade my exhaust for a 4-1, but if that falls through we may need to talk.2005 Honda VTX 1300 c

Could you get some better/closer shots of the floor boards and controls on both sides? PLEASE, I am looking into doing something like that and if I could see how it is done I can fabricate what I need.Originally posted by Ken Talbot View PostIs this one of the ones you wanted?
