roughly started mocking up my cafe seat. that was last night but i shaped it way more than that since then. also chopped another two or so inches from the front once i mocked it up on the bike.

in other news, i couldn't wear my icon textile jacket for a cafe racer like this. it would be an inexcuseable fashion faux pas. so randomly i saw on CL a good genuine leather jacket that was virtually brand new. shoulder pads and built in armor all for $75. score!
