My Cafe Racer Build (and Re-Build)

That bolt is a plug for the wideband sensor port. The muffler is supported by the header, and the header is supported by 2 mounts at the collector, which you can slightly see the tack welds on the frame. And the sky is blue because God loves the infantry.
 
Remade the diamond portion of my seat. That off stitch length was haunting me in my sleep. Sewed up the boxing as well. Will mount to my seat tomorrow if I can find my damn stainless staples that always go missing.

Thanks guys. Pretty much the end of it for the year it looks like. Have to go away for more military work the whole month of August, then I have to catch up at my day job which will push me back way into November. At that point I don't think I'll be doing much riding. So, I'm just going to continue to do small things slowly, make it right. Will be done for sure by March next year ;)
 
About to finish the paint, just some teasers of the color before I clear coat-

The color is Slate Gray, I saw it on an old 60's Porsche and fell in love. It's a shade of gray that changes from light to almost black depending on the lighting.

For reference-
