Next to figure out how to make a seat.
Looks to be made of a foam.
Anyone have a suggestion?

Front brakes work great!!! Still need to make some adjustments on the rear foot brake. As I dont have a clutch on the left side I might run a brake line to the rear from this side. The CBR1000 rear caliper Im using has duel braking pistons which are normally linked in with the front brakes. So I could have a separate left hand rear brake lever linked in with the foot brake.

Looking great! I've made that seat, and modeled it in 3d, it's an odd shape and you really nailed it. Everything is lookin awesome, really nice work.

Well I'll be watching. I still have the wood version in place, and will just use that unless you show it's not tooo hard to make it out of rubber.
Keep up the great work.

This is where we need someone like DAVIDYR1 chiming in with how he'd do the seat. Or even BobD. I'm sure either of those two guys would have a good idea about such a project.
Here's a little issue I discovered last night. The front axle sleeve rotates inside the pipe when the front brake are applied. The two bolts I have to squeeze the pipe and hold the axle are not sufficient. This alters the steering pin position and will result in major damage to brakes and steering arm if it rotated. I'll need to put in a locking system that allows the axle to rotate but it must be limited to a certain range.
This is how it was done on the movie bike and I now understand it's purpose. The two steel plates with bolt through it on the bottom left.
Time to cut,weld and drill some more!!
I did get the rear brakes sorted. New brake pads and a DOT approved hydraulic brake line . Seems have resulted in more compression.
