Here is what replacing a horn casting badge leads to in my world.

Anti vibration rubber strips :?: were out of place on the back cross member distorting the panel so the horn casting holes were very slightly out. New rubbers and flat black paint to follow. :D

Why's the seat sticking up at the back like that? I thought it looked a little odd in the first pic but thought it might be perspective.

Is there a packer under the catch?

The seat has been spaced up using nuts as in m10 nuts I think. The seat is the next thing to go for a bolt on job. So far, the leg shields need sorted out and im on it, the seat as you have pointed out and the forks need rebuilt as the wheel has a bit of a lean to one side. On the plus side I rolled the bike along the fresh snow and the back wheel is in line with the front (thank f@@k). ;)

After a closer look today I found the seat base is straight and not matched to the flow of the rear. I can fix it but probably wont because I don't like the style of the seat anyway. Now fancy a slope back seat cheap anyone?

Must admit I quite liked the look of the original paint scheme. But seeing it now I can see where you're coming from. You need to get that stand sorted though.

The paint job was ok and done by a mate of mine who previously owned the bike but it was not my choice. Its an Indian import so is needing a bit of lining up. The stand cross member will be replaced in due course as its totally f@@ked. Thank fu+k I can weld and make things ok or I would be totally f@@ked with this bike.
Thinking black with a splash of red looks cool. Lots planned for this bike, i love it and hate it at the same time.
Hope to have a bitchin GP in the end though, we will see ;)

I should add cheers for the feedback and any feedback welcome as this is a long ongoing project I will look at any feedback to hopefully steer me to a bitchin Indian GP.
