It has warmed up a little in my garage so I removed the ugliness that is the seat, rear fender, tail light, licence plate and turn signals. I'm going to make a new tail section so I'm trying to determine the basic proportions. With a piece of cardboard, a silhouette can be created once the position of the butt stop is locked down and the seat height is set. This involves much trial and error with me on and off the bike multiple times figuring out my riding position. Now I know it just looks like a piece of cardboard tossed onto the frame but now I have determined that the seat will be as low as it can be over the tank and go up over the back of the faux tank, be supported on the 3 cross members that the stock seat sits on, the position of the butt stop and the length of the tail
