I love what you're doing with your bike. Where did you get the seat? The Acerbis headlight looks terrific, and gives it a sort of street fighter look.
Can you spare your old parts? Carguyty could use the seat and old exhaust.

I got the seat from here
http://item.taobao.com./item.htm?spm...b-ff961d86675f the seat base is a stock CG125 one by the looks of it and It's pretty good quality.
I don't have a lathe at home, but am a Mech Eng at a small aerospace company, so I have access to a lathe and mill and know enough about running them to do small stuff.
The inspiration for the build is from an old CB125 I had in the 70s, that had a similar look.
The old seat is in excellent condition, I had it recovered about a year ago, the exhaust is trash. I re-welded about 3 times due to vibration induced stress cracks.
