That is a very cool looking machine, Jethro!! Great work!Jethro wrote:So I finished my solo seat installation. I had to get creative with the mount and do some welding but I think it turned out really well. After fixing a lean running issue and a leaky head gasket I was able to get it running nicely and took it out for the first ride yesterday evening. Only a few minor things to do still (like rubber foot pegs and some other small items). Here's a pic.
Thanks mike1969 for the oil guide and Loud Mouse for doing my cylinder head job and everyone else who gave me pointers along the way.

Re: Finished my solo seat. First ride yesterday.
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
Muddy, the rack is a modified trail 90 rack. I think it was off of a '66 ct90. I had to drill out some spot welds and flip the two brackets around then weld some extensions onto them for the rear shock struts. The mufflers I got from JCWhitney. I think they were $56 each. I ended up doing some work to the baffles to quiet them down. They were also causing the engine to run lean but I was able to restrict them so I wouldn't have to re-jet.
Thanks again for the compliments.
