      They were originally sourced to go either side of the number plate, so I may yet relocate them.

    Hi Mate, firstly, love the videos... I've just bought the same short seat set from SOM and am using the Motogadget indicators as you have, but just wondering whether you are selling the rear wiring harness/could you make me one at a price so I can just plug and play? Cheers, keep em coming!

    • @mancavemoto

      Unfortunately the rack doesn’t work with the stock mudguard as the mudguard sits above the frame rails. If you put spacers in to raise it, then the rack doesn’t fit under the stock taillight. But you can use the short seat on its own with the stock mudguard

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks for your prompt reply to my comments. I feel we may have to agree to disagree on some points.
    Im a toolmaker by trade and have always done my own bike work, been wheel bulding since the age of 12 on pushbikes and have done many motorcycle wheel builds over the years.
    Its not a dark art, its easy and more people should have a go at these jobs themselves.
    Thanks again for your channel, i appreciate how much work you put in.

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  Год назад +2

      Sadly Brian not everyone has a background as a toolmaker, so you can’t judge other peoples approach based on the privilege your many years of training and experience. I wouldn’t trust riding on a wheel that I built myself. Having seen the process there is a lot of skill involved. It’s not a dark art at all but it is a skill that is learned and perfected over many years. As Chris said in the video it takes 100 or so builds before he considered himself an expert wheel builder. Not to mention the specialist tools that are required.

    Love following this build. The new seat looks fantastic. I think I’m with you on the shorter frame rail, though. It would look better if it ended right at the back of the seat. Also, that scratch hurt my soul. I had a huge scratch from a tank bag on my Bobber and it ruined me for days. Buffed out fortunately. You’re killing this build though.

    Oh dear I'm afraid the bike looks totally out of balance now. l prefer the look with the original seat...

      Well the front end hasn’t been touched yet, so it will look a little unbalanced from stock obviously
