Mine isn't too bad for a stiff seat. I do miss the spring seat that my other motorized bike hadquestion: is your banana seat uncomfortable like mine?
you could send me your tank, and whatever else to be pinstriped, just pm me for details...Here is my build I just finished. I wanted to give it that traditional hot rod feel. The first picture is of the bike when I bought it. The second is how it looks now. I am still not completely done with it. I want to take it to the Lone Star Round Up (a pre 1964 custom and hot rod show) and have someone pinstripe it!
Nice work!you could send me your tank, and whatever else to be pinstriped, just pm me for details...
Thanks! I played around with the angle of the seat and tried to get it to follow the top tube closely. I had to chop some things to get it low over the bar. The cargo rack filled in the back so that there was not a gap over the wheel at the back of the seat.Usually, banana seats look a bit awkward to me on a 26 inch bike. However it looks great on yours the way you mounted it very low and retained the vintage looking cargo rack. I guess you don't know how something will look until you bolt it on and try it. The tank under the seat is icing on the cake.
It rides relatively smooth and it is fairly fast. I made it to be as low as possible so it is a bit cramped to ride/peddle, but it is not too bad.well done!How's it ride??
Thanks for the kind wordsSick bike man! I love trad hot rod and kustom stuff like that. I especially dig that seat and tank! Real slick idea man!
I've been wanting to the round up go for years, but that's a long trip for my old beater, man.' Hopefully when this new engine is in her you'll see me there next year!
Have any pics of the Linc? My buddy Jeff thats in my car club has a '60 MkV, and a friend of ours has a '62 Continentel. Mom used to have a two-door '68 Conti when I was litle, too. Talk about luxury, man.... Those boats ride soooo smooth.Thanks for the kind words
Hope to see you at the Round Up next year! I have a 1962 Lincoln Continental that I bring out. People love the MBs at the Round Up too!
