I would bet on sr500 if there was money on it. But its pretty impossible to tell without some better pictures.

HAHA Thanks brotha! Everyone wanted 1000 to 1500 buck to do my seat in my area. I found this guy Mike at the local rodeo that does saddles and western stuff for horses. 1st motorcycle seat he did. If anyone wants any leather work in the socal area, he does amazing work for unbeatable prices.
check him out!

I think it is a bike that wants to come over and live in my walloooh ,, I would make it a rigid first, then make a seat for it, tooled leather of course! then, put a mustang gas tank on top of the back bone to go frisco style on the gas tank, of course this is just my theories!!!! I keep throwing my lure out there, I have not been getting any bites! I really want to get some bites!!! I could possibly put used motor oil upon the lure, it used to werx before!!! I certainly do not want to use really stinky cheeze!!! it is one thing to have to handle stinky cheeze, but, when it does not wash off, and you really aint gettin' no bites in reality!!! whoa!! that bites!!!! bites in the wrong wayz!!! what a dilema!!!

swinewerx, since this thread is hijacked anyway, I know you want to do lots of leather tooling and seats. How come you dont get a website? is there a place where people can see your work? Or make ads in the classifieds or craigslist or ebay. I really think you could get some work if you had a website and your stuff is good. Tooling is not a dying form though. everybody and their ballsack is doing it for motorcycles. Pinstriping used to be rare but now you cant throw a cat turd without hitting a pinstriper in the head. good luck
