    Oh Yeah, pretty cool man! I've been wondering what those bikes look like chopped up & I'd like to see a better pic of what you did for that seat! Very cool..

    Gotta be hard on the tail riding that on Polish roads, but I like it.

    The seat is a bit of a hardcore style.

    Looks like an old BMW "tractor" seat without the cover.

    Good for you, but I could not have cut up a bike that looked so good to start with.

    Pretty good way to dry out your arm pits!

    How long can you ride the bike for at one go? I realise that a bobber is not a cruiser, but curious to know how many hours you've managed to do in one ride.

    This tank is quite small - is 2.2 gallons. So I often have to stop to refuel (60miles). The longest ride was about 340 miles

    From which bike is the tank actually? You might put some extra petrol in the leather forkbag...

    Sorry for the absence:) The tank is hand made from resin glass.
