New look (frame spacers)

Nvm, looked through your photos. Looks gnarly!

Yes, the seat is custom. I carved up a bit of extra foam for the lump at the back and gave it to my upholsterer with instructions on the stitching. I had it done in car tonneau cover fabric with silver-grey stitching. I think it worked out well but my wrinkly ass now requires some yoga to lift my leg over it on mount and dismount.

Hey XB9BANE. I think you and I both need to make out front forks black. I'm waiting for seals then plan to service mine so I am thinking of having the bits anodised or epoxy coated while I am about it.

 

[XB9BANE]

Agreed! I was at one point going to paint them the color of the bike, but figured they chip an scratch all to hell once slid through the tripletree. Not too familiar with anodising, but i bet that would look sweet.

Thought about sending my accented parts(pulleys, heel guards, etc..) to have them aurora plated.. any thoughts?

That looks super nice!!

Pulleys are dicey. Even a small amount of coating on the teeth substantially affects the belt length which has minimum tolerance with the standard fixed tensioner. I don't know what "aurora" plating is - sounds like a trade name. I had my header pipes ceramic coated in black - works a charm.
