Maybe some reshaping of the seat is in order. It looks a bit like a park bench as it sits behind the curves of the tank. Full marks for ingenuity though.

Welcome to the site!

I like the look of what you've done. In particular the way hte headlight follows the line of the frame. On the down side, I've got to agree that the seat just looks too sofa like for frame, but what do I know???

Still it's a mightly impressive piece of work.

You're definitely right. I should have mentioned that the seat cushion and cover are still original and will be replaced. I plan to make it lower and a little more rounded. You should have seen it before I took 4 inches out of it...

Anything that keps memories of the screaming triples alive is cool by me! I have to say that your bike is shaping up very, very nicely. Well done mate!

Having fond memeories of Kwak Triples I think this is an excellent idea .

Bike looks good, we need more different stuff, carry on the good work.

Oh, and I hope whichever piece of s**t stole your bike and bent it like that really really hurt themselves doing it, b4st4rds.
