Hey i saw your bike parked on bloor street last night. Alot of people were commenting on it as they walked by. Very cool!
 
Wow

That bike looks NICE but I have some ??'s

what type of leather did you use .....a cabretta or upholstery cow?

How dose the gas tank cover do with the spillage some of us do when we fill the tanks?

I know you must know the UV kills leather what type of conditioner/sun tan oil :) are you using.

I love the idea of the camo tape as an accent that is way cool.

with the engin cage that is a great idea but dose it transfer the heat to that wide of an area on a long run ??

Re - Cookie

I'm not exactly sure what type of leather was used . I just buy the scrap leather and what fits I let the bike wear it. I use mainly mink oil as conditioner for all but the seat. The gas tank cover will absorb minor spills if tank overflows at fillup which is rare. The camo tape came in handy for the detailing and can be also use for "emergencies". The engine cage is well perforated and ventilated and the materials used cause little or no transfer of heat even if the cage rest directly on the engine. Thanks for your interest ...
