Seat pan

So the seat was rotten through so it was ditched.
I got some 1mm angle steel to start making and basic seat frame.
A couple hour's later and I've got the frame sorted.

Daylight fun

Finally got the chance to work on the bike in the daylight which made a nice change.

first think was to tackle the tank mounts, a small amount of chopping and the front of the tank fits, only problem is the clearance of the coils.
I cut the old mounts off and re located the coils tighter to the frame.

She's coming along now.
I had planned on using the original seat pan with new foam and leather but as with every thing else its rotten.
I've decided to make my own seat so I'm off to get some angle iron to get cracking.

The front brake master cylinder was manky to say the least.
The fluid bowl was crumbling so I figured the hose must be shot to.
Unfortunately this meant some more expense.
The brake was pretty cheap but a good hose from hyper hose ain't cheap. Buy cheap, buy twice.
I've popped the brake on and plumed her in. Since then its rained every day I've had off so no more progress at the mo.
I did pick up a new welder and big bag of washers, gotta love eBay
