Seats .....
The seats are now done and awaiting collection. I've yet to see them in the flesh but if Simon's previous work is anything to go by they'll be superb as always!
Carbon leather sides, black vinyl top, blue stitching and embroidered M Sport logo.

They look similar material to the sargent seats. Detailing is impressive
That was the aim. Simon does do nice work!
Last set of Photos
The bike is now finished (from my perspective)
The seats are back and fitted
The smoked screen is fitted
The Akrapovich exhaust is fitted.
I wheeled it out into the sun and took some photos. The rest of the bike could do with a clean if I'm honest but to do it properly is a couple of hours and its going to be ridden home on Saturday in the rain and snot so it is how it is!
There was a plan to use vinyl to infill the embossed GS logo in the side of the tank. Each of the three lines on the logo would have each of the three M sport colours. I had the graphics made up and I did fit them but in my opinion they didn't look right so I removed them. There are a couple of sets of spares in case the owner wants to re-apply them. There's also a set in black.

That's very nice without being over the top,well done.
Your guy has made a cracking job of the seats.
What is next in the workshop?

Cheers fella. As I said earlier in the thread, knowing when to stop is a dark art, too much and you spoil it, too little and it's pointless doing!
Next up ...... I'm chuckling as I type ..... is going to be my Shop showpiece bike - Retarded Airhead "Charlie Tango" thing ......... It's actually now sitting on the ramp where the LC pictured above was this very morning.
It's so awful it's awesome ..... I'll make it lovely though ... well in my eyes anyway!
Very nice Chris, the seats are outstanding too. How much did the seat cost as I'm not sure about the Sargent one I've just bought?
I'm pretty sure it's Touratech. It's a nice little bag too, I have a similar KTM Powerparts one on my 950
Is there a plug missing on the engine bars?
Spectacular paint job........now, I wonder what my RTLC would look like with a 'M' paint jobby.
I think it would look fantastic but that's a big area to paint ..... dig deep
Pictures are still squashed though!
Right click, View image.

I think you're going to have one happy customer, it looks fantastic, well done, G
Lovely job...but I can't help but think it's a bit like Bear Grills going about his business in high heels and lipstick.
