Starting on the Seat Pan Pattern

got the sissy all mounted and tacked into place rear fender is solid as a rock starting on the seat pan so I can make sure it will be covered in time as to not hold the build up then I will jump back to the rest of the sissy bar and move onto the mid control mounts next just some pics of a really rough pattern for the seat this is just to get an idea of the shape it will have I have to go back and get some good trimming and shaping done on this then transfer it over to some steel

Hardtail is finished on Coreys Bike and mock up begins

got the frame back from Mike at 47 Industries just want to say a big thank you from him the frame came out absolutely amazing Mike and Ryan did a fantastic job it look like a factory hardtail not an added on hardtail at all the re pop axle plates completely set the look off and Mike also incorporates some minor little bends in the rear legs that the factory wishbone frame has when I got home I was comparing it to my stock 1948 wishbone frame that has a pan/shovel motor in it and its dead nuts on my frame is an original that my dad had since the early 1960's and Im absolutely thrilled at the end result that Mike achieved with the stock shovelhead frame here so on to the pics these are just for mock up the front end has to be cut down its got that groovy authentic frisco stance going on right now the tubes are about 4" over so they will get cut to stock or -2 soon just mocking things up to get a feel for what I have to work with here
