Scooterotica

Fitted engine and wheels this afternoon, hope to have it finished on the weekend.

i take it seat is not bolted on yet

Yes, I thought the same about the seat.

I have one of these seats, but I mounted it on a fibre glass base so it sits an inch higher at the front, and higher still at the back. I find it surprisingly comfortable, though Andy Nixon's special padding makes a big difference.

This photo exaggerates the seat somewhat, and it doesn't look this angled from other views:



If you just mount the seat on top (back) of the frame pressing, it leans back, making the distance to the handlebars greater. As a result, you have to lean forward to reach the bars, giving you backache.

Good luck with therest of the project. What are you doing with the paint?

Are you leaving it in undercoat?
