New here from Maine

[Downsouthdub]

Hi, my name is Ryan. Been riding for about 10 years now, mostly sport bikes. I got a 1980 xs400 in a trade last summer and have been tinkering on it as a winter project. It's a unicycle right now but I hope to have it back together before spring

Thanks! I was going to post some but there is no pic icon on my tapatalk app?! Wasn't sure if it was a post count thing or not

Here is the seat I made

Cut her in half, no magic box needed!

And some mock up shots

Just finally got some tubing and axle plates the other day and a new tank. If it ever stops snowing on the weekends I could go to my dads house and get to work

love the seat padding, any chance of doing a simple how to if folks want to do it for themselves or is it a specialist tool job?

bike looks sick too

Been a while! But still working on it when I can

My new tank. It doesn't fit with the triple backbone. So... I made it fit

G'day Ryan,

The hard tail is looking good. Can you provide some more details on the seat construction?
I look forward to seeing this build progress.

Cheers.

Thanks! I have made a new thread in the garage section, since this is turning into a build thread.
I will reply in there because I have a had some interest in the seat. Even though I'm more than likely not going to use it
