    I always vote for keeping a motorcycle naked, so that's the way I would go. But you'll need a little dressing up, as the moto looks front heavy. The engine looks huge and forward, so something to move the visual weight back would be good.

    I like the stance so far. Looking forward to see how this plays out in the next couple of days.

    I didn't even notice the license plate. I keep finding little details in this bike that I love.

    I was surprised with how this ended from where it began, but it looks great. I love the colors, and the seat functions are great. I love the little rack at the front, the rear light, and the rear lights. Great job.

    Alright, four seats are in. Design 3 is on the right, and design 4 (Thanks @langko) on the left. I’ll need to make some adjustments for the sequential transmission chassis, but something here will work. I’ll clean up the colors at some point. I would like to keep DBG, but maybe the seats will have to be LBG. In this photo the seats are mounted to the floorpan, but I have moved them to the unibody. This eases the unibody removal at the expense of making the chassis look a little more bare.

    @langko yes! This is exactly what I need. Let me make a couple and try the fit. Thanks, sometimes a simple solution is right there, but you can’t see it because you have been looking at something else for too long.

    Ooo I didn’t even notice that. I agree, great solution!

    I'm glad I was able to provide a little bit of inspiration. I love the single sided look, so I'm happy my moto give you some ideas that helped make yours possible.

    I like the design and shape of this Motorcycle. It's looks slick, and I love the rear light/exhaust.

    Great job. The final windshield looks great as well. I'm happy you were able to find a good solution after removing the clear plastic. The bodywork really is fantastic. It looks like you kept the gears on the left of the transmission, rather than the chain link. Did you run out of chain links? Also, is the motorcycle able to shift from gear 4 to 1 and 1 to 4, or is it limited so that it only goes 1, 2, 3, 4 and back down? I love the detail of the split crankshaft in the engine to keep the ignition order correct. I missed this detail earlier in the build, and it's a great addition.

    I know, I don't have them yet, but they are on order. I'll try them when they arrive.

    @I_Igor @johnnym @langko, all of you are right, the first headrest piece is perfect, and looks best. But, how to add it? I added the black part, to the modified version (left), and it's a step backwards. The bolsters are stressed, the headrest can turn, and the headrest angles too far forward. I'll keep working on it, but I may set it aside for a couple of days. I can fix these problems by making the headrest in line with the seatback, but that looks funny to me. It's the attention to these kind of details that slow down my builds.

    Well done. It turned out great!

    Just a small update today. I had a little time, so tried a couple of drafts for the seats. I like the one on the left, and fits the easiest, but the side bolsters can pivot, which is no go for me. Draft two fixes this problem, and draft three (far right) I like the best. Though, I don't like the headrest. I plan to use DBG for the seats, and maybe some highlight color. Fitting four of these seats in may be another challenge as the center transmission is not uniform between both options. So that may change the shape the seat a little more. We'll see. I have a general draft of the bodywork that I'll show soon, but I have also been working on specific areas. Above is a draft of the front. Nothing solid yet, but the short front overhang is complicating my options. You can see here how far that I-6 motor extends to the front. More later.....

    Thanks, yeah, a fender would be great. But even if they did, I would complain about the shape, and then wish it was in a different color, and on and on. Maybe this is better. Glad you like the shape and the mechanics.
  16. Thirdwigg
    I'm glad I can provide a little inspiration. You have a good start, and I look forward to how it progresses.

    Sorry I am a little late to this build. Very well done, and a great tribute to an early set. I love the side by side pictures. I am interested in these tributes builds, as I enjoy the nostalgia. As I build some of these myself, I am struck by how small and simple some of these early set are compared to what is released now. Thanks for sharing the build.
  18. Thirdwigg
    Glad you like it. Thanks for all the inspiration. Yep, there is no room left in the interior. I guess there is some room in the tank, but that should be filled with fuel.

    Huzzah! Thanks for another contest, and thanks for opening the entry post. Truly, thank you @Jim and @Milan for all your work supporting this forum. I am sure there are others, so extend my thanks to them as well. Your work is valued.

    Yeah, it's pretty cozy. Thanks for the kind words. You have a good build going on as well, and I am glad you like this one.

    @HorcikDesigns sorry for the delay, but below is a front and rear picture of the Motorcycle. Rear Finally, the frame/chassis view to be in compliance with the contest rules.

    Looks great. I like how you managed to get the front and rear drive units into the motorcycle in such as way that they are not visually distracting. These functions are well integrated.
  24. Thirdwigg
    Yeah, without for me too.
  25. Thirdwigg
    Great job. I liked how the turbine turned out, and the front fork looks pretty good. Also, I like the decision to keep the side lights on the front rather than a single center light.
