oh! i see it how you did it. perfect work! i’m looking for something that looks similar to that style of seat, and nothing looks as cool as that. well, back to the drawing board..

The seat is custom made by me out of an extra gas tank.

Personal Preference Rating: 8.5/10

Love the stance. Stout and mean. Cool colors. Looks balanced. Meaty but not fat. Great pipe work. but that seat man. What is with the seat. Looks so uncomfortable. I like the gray but it feels unfinished. Maybe a matte black instead? If the pipes could have gone under the seat and out the back, that would be cool, but I have no problem with it being on the side. Forks look kinda think but that is just knit picking. I like this Bike.

I snapped a shot of Jeff’s bike at Backfire Moto in Ballard;
