Thanks, Flanman. If you want to know how I made the 'Hunchback', just let me know.

i have a 900ss that is in pieces right now.  Yes!! tell me how you did the 'hunchback' I'm thinking of doing it to the SS.  I'm just to scared right now to get out the gear to hack the tail frame down.

Of the good in you I can speak but not of evil.  For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst.

The "hunchback" not humpback as I said lol isn't on his bike anymore its a cafe racer style cowl. And Celli I would love to know how you created it (it involves a pair of old leather pants i think you said before  Grin) Just what was the process for constructing the actual hump and materials would be great. Thanks ahead of time!

Forgive me for my ignorance!!! I thought it was the solo-seat.  I'm new at this whole thing.

Nice bike, and a great look to boot...

BUT....
Here are my opinions:

Loose the zip-ties on the frame
Hyper-motard oil cooler line
re-route to a longer starter cable and put it around the alternator side
BST sticker?!?  Are they paying you for advertising?
How many colors are you adding to this thing?!?  It's starting to look way too busy w/regards to the colors on it.


PLEASE..... don't get me wrong.  I really love the whole I'm 100-kinds-of-bad-ass attitude that you've got going on...the above are just my critiques.  Take them for what they're worth...

Hey flanman, the 'hunchback' I made from a carbon frontfender. Sanded the bottomside in such a way that, in the end, it fitted seamlessly and specialglued the hunchback on the carbon seatcoil carefully. The cushion was made of an old leatherpants indeed. Make it from solid foam and wrapp the leather neatly around it. Mine was partly a tiny smaller than the frontopening in the hunchback, so I could push that part into the hunchback. The fit was beautiful.

Vampireduc. About hacking the frame down.... Think twice. It took me two years (The thought started with my former Monster) and a lot of uncertaincy before I dared to do it. It came out right for me, just because I liked it. When you see it that way, I was lucky. And I'm happy that I still love it.
The seat is custommade. Took me a while, because I neverever made something like that before. It still looks new.

Hey Stu, thanks for your compliments!
You are concerning to me, one of those big experts, making all those incredible Monsters and winning all those prizes! Thank you for your opinions.
I still love my 'zip-ties'. Those are very well handmade small leather belts with buckles. I will think about that, though. It could give the bike a cleaner look. The Hyper-motard oilcooler line, I like a lot. Re-routing startercable to the alternator side I think is a great idea! Thanks! Will think about that too.
The stickers I put on lately won't last long anyway. I did this before and they always stayed on just for a short time. About the colours. I like it this way. I know its personal. But I like it a lot. 
I appreciate your critiques. You know that. So, again I thank you for this and for the new thougths to think about!!
