Well, I wanted the seat mounted solid so I used seat tracks to mount the controls to so they slide to your foot, im putting the throttle and brake on the right foot plus a rail to put your weight on when braking hard. The plan is to duct the hot air up and over the body. Im going to fab a slidding door in the duct to allow heat to enter the passenger compartment on those cold days. Im putting the clutch on the shifter. Im setting it up that way since i have limited use on my left foot. I think its pretty slick myself.

Yeh, we can do that, when I bring you #2 you can finish that off, im just trying to get all the leagalitys on it. The baulbs arnt DOT approved so I need to put the ones out of the streetbike in those housings. Look into flush mount street bike blinkers and running lights and see if you can find a set that works with your intended body lines.

Ok, got about 1/3 the surface rust off in about 3 hours, looking good in flat black primer. Also got the addapters set up to widden the rack and ready to be tigged. We were trying to figure out how to do the steering, even thought about making it removable but instead we think were going with a setup were you just slide it over to the middle when entering and exiting. It also needs to push foward and aft. Fully adjustable is what im looking for. Any ideas???
