Yeah I was going to go with a mono shock style conversion using both original shocks but then looking at it and all the other bikes I've seen,the floating seat just had to be done. The open triangle that all the cafe racers go for just looks so messy and unimaginative. I wanted it to be low clean and simple and that's what it is.
yeah it does look cool like that. are you putting a rear fender on it? it might look nice with one. esp if it hugs the tire really close.
Yes it will have a fender along with a old 1950's single filament bulb tail light I'm converting to LED tail and brake light.
