That seat is mint, despite it being black!

Thanks he's made a good job of it worth the wait

Can´t help wonder how will it feel to sit on that oil filler cap?
Or is it just me siting close on the petrol tank?
Been on a Seeley since ´78. Even with the short 19 litre tank
Though with original oil tank.

Uncomfortable but it looks good lol .No oil cap is between your legs but can't feel it but there int much padding so will have a sore bottom after a few miles .

Its starting to looks fabulous Yozzer, nice one. Don't take it out in the rain though or you will be on the Solvol Autosol for the rest of your life.

Does anyone have any idea what size batterie I should be looking for I want to locate it under seat. So size could be an issue .Cheers Mike

I did a bit of reading around the topic, and found a few posts that showed that generally honda decreased the cca by 25% for kick only models, so if you don't use the starter you can drop down a bit.  I decided to relocate mine under the swingarm, but fixed to the frame.  Gave me enough space to fit a 9Ah motobatt.  Hasn't been tried and tested yet, but can keep you updated.

Thanks yes please do .I am wanting to use starter

[JustcallmeMrT]

Will be a few weeks yet.  Bike is in having an exhaust fabbed,  then comes wiring, strip down, paint and powder.  Hope to have it up and running by Feb.

[yozzer74]

Are you doing a build thread for yours

[JustcallmeMrT]

I haven't done one to be honest, I didn't really intend on doing much special, but it's started to have a mind of its own... last pic I have is below.  Now has custom battery box, headlamp and fixings, clubman bars, and a few other bits.  Will have a nice stainless 4-1 exhaust shortly too, and a custom speedo and mount.

Looks well that mate what seat you going for are those batteries a little smaller than standard ones

[JustcallmeMrT]

I'm doing a brat style seat with a kick up at the back.  Sewed it out of calfskin myself this summer.
The battery is a bit smaller than standard, L: 5.91 (150)  W: 2.76 (70)  H: 4.13 (105).  It's motobatt mbt9b4.
