sorted the original seat strap out. put a coach bolt thru to hold the strap into the mounting bracket. cant recall what fitting was before. presume it was riveted. ground the nut right down so doesn't cut in to the vinyl seat

Definitely a labour of love. Hope you're going to put some serious mileage on it when it's finished.

it will stand in line with other 9 machines i guess. have a rider policy which covers me for 4 bikes, sorn the others. use the vn for long trips, bandit for a blast to coast, drz for a crazy blast and the 4th can be swapped about. dont ride as much as i would like tho... labour of love, but beats that tv hands down., having said that i would like to see that vw campervan program,,

got the original stems chromed and looked for replacement heads but was told by the chromer that the heads are made of monkey metal as he calls it. turns out there an alloy and he just polished them. was dubious but final result was amazing
