Hey Rob -

Looks like you're all finished with your cutting and welding !!
Looks good - Sorta like an R65 GS now !

How comfortable is the new seat ?   It looks like you have plenty of space for cases of Pepsi on the back,
or camping gear.

Are you going to stay with "bronco brown", or possibly repaint it in a different color too, like the GS bikes ?

I guess you'll be posting some passenger pegs in the want ads. Nice job! I like the practicality of the rack. It looks like you could haul a respectable amount of gear on that or even mount a gas grill. Mmmm sausage  :)
