    So here is my new logo for my xj650 I've been turning into a cafe racer style bike. This winter a lot of it has been stripped and painted and more will come. Let me know what you think!

    Go to the picture you want in the actual size you want. Right click it and select "Copy Image Location".

    Go to your post body, and click the icon in the left hand of the bottom row (in advanced post, looks like this: [​IMG]). A window will pop up where you input the Image location address you just copied.

    Ill get some picts of the rest of the bike here soon. Its actually coming along better then I had hoped. The next big hurtle is what to do with the seat. I was thinking of a single seat and then one of those little pillion seats in the back (My women would kill me if she could no longer ride). Another thought was to find a cheap seat pan and cut it down to make it less cruiserish and more cafaeish. Funds as always are tight so we'll see what the future holds.

    That seat looks like it would be a cinch to re-cover. Sew yourself a new one or drop the coinage to have one made.
    Black electrical tape is always an option...
    Spray vinyl dye?
