I really like the look and the nice details like the rose-jointed gearshift linkage.

The CB350 tank and CB160 front fender really work well, too.

I may have aske this before but where did the seat come from?

Thanks guys, Graham the seat is one I made from a mould which I have.
I borrowed Ed Lauder's race seat mould and made a seat which I then modified to suit a fat bottom guy. Wider and longer. I then made a mould using my modified seat and that is the result. Alan my evil twin had one on his race bike.
Regards and thanks to Richard for his help.Onward with the next one!
Brian
