Thanks for the complement. The thing I like about it is that it doesn't look like a 79 model to the untrained eye. I've had people comment that it looks like a Triumph (they must have missed the big Honda side emblems, lol), a newer CBR with a naked front end, etc. Everyone who has asked me about it who doesn't really know CBs thinks it's a 90s-00s model of something, they can't believe it's as old as it is. I wanted to kind of take various flavors of bikes out there, cafes, streetfighters, etc, and put them on something that has little hints of all of them.

All the credit for the seat cover goes to www.lonepeakupholstery.com, Andy over there did an amazing job making a clean looking cover for my reshaped foam and pan, and he did it damn fast too. Less than a 48 hour turnaround, and only $75 for the job.

That being said, it's not 100% done, still a few little tweaks need to be done before I'll call it completed, but it's 95% there. I think it turned out okay for my first custom bike build, haha.
