i hope that chain adjuster is not staying there!
Waxed canvas? While certainly different, I wouldn't recommend it on a seat. I have an oilskin coat and regret the day I purchased it. It requires a fair bit of care and is impossible to keep clean. The wax attracts dirt, and it will melt. Summertime sunlight is enough to melt it, and on a seat that would make a mess of your pants. In the cold, it is stiff. And it is always slippery...

I was cheap and used a old jean jacket and sprayed it with liquid vinyl. After 2k miles still looks like new
Went from a sure thing for spring to not likely.
Fuck.
That is quite common on the early ones with no electric starter, 2 guys over here have had to weld theirs up, its not hard, just get a welder whos on the ball but the cases need to come apart unless you can try to fit an electric starter from a later bike? Not sure if you can.
Great project
