    Well as long as he likes it, more power to him - looks like some good mods there.

    However I gotta agree with Zombie - that rear is hideous and ugly.

    Tilt the rear fender back and it would look much better

    Sorry, but I think it looks like a cartoon; the rear end just adds to the garish effect.

    But hey, somebody obviously put a lot of effort into it, cosmetics-wise; so to each his own.

    I think if you change the back, it would look kind of cool. also a clean paint job.

    Better anyway. Too bad his execution was so amateurish in comparison to the concept. Done a tad more carefully and with a bit more effort, that one could have been a masterpiece. I like the idea of incorporating the original tailpiece into the new seat; then he did a half-assed upholstery job.

    I saw the same vid Streetbrawler saw and it immediately caught my eye. I want to know what he did for a headlight though.

    Ya the tail was a bit crude, but it could be done pretty kick @ss, I always thought about that if I had a Seca


    Haha just watched that vid again at my house now, cause I couldn't remember the headlight part, and hear blue suede shoes, with motorcycle sounds edited in, quite a treat! (shop computer doesn't have speakers)

    Man. That poor Seca. What was he THINKING with that rear end? I agree with Zombie- it looks like it was rear-ended. It really looks like a mishmash of parts to me. Found this. Use it! Found this. Use that too! But if he likes it, good for him. And props for doing it himself.
