Juggy, did you see the note in the description that says it's not a complete seat? Just foam and cover.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

I've got one of those - fits great, but the material is a bit thin... I don't know how it will stand up to hard use. Will dig up a pic...

Note - I hadn;t pulled it tight when that pic was taken.

Here's me sitting on it:

Motorcycle equivalent in Star Wars was the speeder bike. Sort of a motorcycle without wheels & no obvious method for propulsion.
Look up "star wars speeder bike" in youtube or google.

Here is a good video clip:

Looks like you'll have a nice bike when you're done. I'm always impressed by people who do good frame-off restorations, which is something that's way beyond my skills.

Thanks mate... It's way beyond mine too - It's only a machine, what's the worst thing that could happen? (Please don't answer that)

I didn't know you were looking for a tail section Juggie!

Shamless plug for my new design: :wink:

I'm calling this design "razor back". It's different from all the other tailsections and does look pretty "mean" if I say so myself.

If anyone wants to order one they are 125.00 or 135.00 with the bulkhead to mount a tail light. New model discount for Feb 2011 is 10.00 off either model.
