I have to make a few choices maybe you can help,... maybe not. The world revolves around me' as we know. And with all this polar gravity, with all the pot smoking back yonder days, and all this hurling through space and time-"like-- all the time and stuff".
Some times it leaves me a bit cumfuzzled.
I have "race-cafe-custom" going through my head all the time.
If I LET THINGS COME to me THEY WILL EVENTUALLY!!!!! But I stew sit and ponder and then stew some more....and nothin gets done.
If I am going race bike? or going total custom whatever bike? or cafe bike?? Well, i have found these pressing little but EARTH SHAKING decision tidbits at this time.
The air pump and the air pump welded mounting brackets on the front down tube. Simple instinct tells me loose it quickly just like an old band-aid, just yank it, cut it, and grind it and make it gone and smooth with out any more thought... And then I have to think about it, and I put it off further.
It is just a nifty tid-bit and completely unnecessary and wrong at any logic for a cafe-racer or racer bike, but there it still is......... Hmmm..
The horn and the horn mounting bracket low on the second tube. I will be driving it on the street and may' need by law to have a horn. (And I will research the laws on this issue) It is kinda cool lookin!, but logic says to make it go away. It is big and heavy, not sure what it sounds like and I kinda dont want to know even. If law dictates it, a horn I could put a old bulb-squeezer on the handle bars, or a new hi-teck small and light noise maker under the seat that I am sure would blow the sound from the old horn away when it plays laCucauaracha, We are the Champions, and innagottadavita.
Hmmmm...Still there???
I need to decide if I am going to use a portain of the old fender in the rear as a splash guard....just in this area. I'm thinking it is the easy way yess.... but -- NO. I would like the opportunity to make my own design inner splash/fender/ thingy.
At least I think I need to waste some money and time on it! Yes?
Now I chopped the rear end of the bike, the nifty side covers that I have made, well.... kinda smell....Im thinking something new is between the ears somewhere- but the smell hasn't lifted yet?
O THERE IT IS!!!! I think the chain guard has gotta go it STINKS BAD!, I am unsure of the brackets as of yet, one- I could use for a dealy-bobble-do-dad, and the rear I could use for some kind of custom glorious god-like shiny chain guard as of yet unknown in origion-- the Crusade Awaits--
(Yelling).....someone open a door-
The photo here is utterly irrelevant to the topic at hand, I just found it when doing a search for "canned air" and got a smirk on my face when seeing it. Apparently someone left a can in their car on a hot day and this happened while the fella was gone.

OK seat pan again...... i had to whittle things a bit to get a proper shape that was pleasing, and one that left me with some ass area. Then to the mounts.
I made a couple female tabs off the frame, landing under the seat in a reasonable area close to the edge for smooth a'fitment later when putting on" or removing" the sear later..... while leaving ample room for the fastener, the tire, and whatever fender type thing i do under there later.
and new hidden bracket "so yezz cant see da seet boat's no-mo" it will be a bit more reaching under the seat to remove it but a cleaner look without the nasty sight of ugly bolts and brackets like before.
I needed strength and room for travel in the hump so I fabbed some inner mess and tacked it all in. I may have gone a bit far on some of this work but I for one, hate building something new and have it ruined when you go around a corner and have your tire rub on the damn thing, or have someone lean on it at the bike show and bend it. I have seen it all to many times at the ol bike shop. Some dink rich Harley-punk-ass just got a fancy new paint job fucked up AND RUINED! on his ugly ass Harley bike. Just because he (or the idiot builder that worked for him) didn't allow for tire-heat-expansion, or didn't measure the suspension travel, or account for how fat and heavy his wife's ass is when she sat on the damn thing. Builders often times work with tight clearance issues and tight tolerances and many will try to get away with sometimes UGLY, often shadey or sketchy, and (I will attest!)-manytimes down right dangerous shit trying to hurry or save a dime, ex specially custom Harley-dummy-folk.... Running low on welding gas, I'll finish it up later.
And there we have it. I fabbed up a butt plate outta ply that will later be cushed upon- when I put the cush on, the rest of the but-rester....uh.. un-der-stand you under......stander.
