lol..yeah i had to do a little touch up after i mounted them up...oops...lol

Ok so i just got reupolstered the seat and i think it turn out great.  I didnt spend the 40 bucks for a seat cover off ebay i just got a peice of vynle and did it like i used to do at the limo shop.  What do you guys think of how it looks now.

Before


After

Freaking nice job bro.

Seat looks great bro!

Thanks guys  its almost time to put it on the road just waiting on a few parts but im thinking 2 weeks it should be rollin down the road. 

Teach me how to do that!

do what the seat?  Its actually really easy.  Well it is for me i used to cover parts in my spare time at the limo shop.  I think with stripping old cover off and finding my stapler it took about 15-20 mins to complete the seat.  Oh and it will be getting the grab strap put back on it when i get that it sown together.  It will be a pink grab strap and pink graphics per wifes request.   Update on the bike as well I have just ordered the new oring chain, oil filter, spark plugs and new tires.  Its not going to be long now    I cant wait to ride this beast.

That looks really good buddy it's come a long way since you got it home

Thanks bud so has yours.  Im toying with the idea of starting to recovering motorcycle seats as a side job.  Just for some extra cash.  Whats your thought on this idea anyone?

might be tough since that would require them shipping their seat to you and I can't imagine thats a cheap cost.  I could see it eating into your prices or driving some customers away.

yeah i was just thinking that.......oh well ill have to come up with something else....lol

It might be worth it to try tho!  Offer a couple out and get up some pics of work you've done.  You'd be surprised what some people would rather people do for them.  I see a bunch of people offering this on craigslist too.

ok i finished the seat grab strap per the wife color request and pulled the rear wheel to prep for paint.  I got the new chain in the mail today so as soon as tires get here ill be in business.

 

ouch the pink has to hurt the manhood, but the things we do to make the fairer sex happy. lol

i actually like it.  Its goin to be a great looking/riding little bike.   

Update.  Today on the UPS truck we got our new kenda front and rear tires 100/90-16 front 130/70-17 rear.  At first look they appear to have a similar tread pattern of the shinkos I put on the gs.  We also got the new oil filter and plugs.  Now i just need a few nutz and boltz from honda since they used some odd ball sizes and i cant get them at the local hardware store.  Heres a pic of the new tires.

it's like CHRISTMAS all over again!            wait, why am i excited? it's your bike.     anyhow, nice pics. keep up the good work.

It's kind of crazy isn't it.  It's like watching a football game on tv.  I find myself cheering for the honda everytime it scores new parts.

lol...thanks guys barring anything bad happening i should have it rapped up and ready for a test ride next week.  The tires are getting mounted up saturday, then i just have to pick up some oil and a few other little things that i will try to pick up at the dealorship while im there saturday.  Then ill pull a little 87 octane into her and off i go.  

think of me while you ride her.......   wait....  that sounds bad, very bad....   anyways...umm...  ride a few extra miles for us poor folks with no bike eh?
