Thank you, koihoshi.

I'm going to take some pics either tonite, or tomorrow, but I'm in the process of getting the bike back together now. I've removed the seat cover, stripped it down to the pan, and I'm getting ready to put some temporary foam back on there so I can build the seat cover back up for it, but eventually, the foam will be replaced with the same kind of underlayment you'll find in a Dodge Caravan, which is comprised mostly of recycled denim/cotton fibers in a mat with a plastic liner. It'll be piled on there in such a way to make a "butt cup" so that I can sit comfortably forward, without wanting to stuff my back into the trunk.

I'm also going to apply a backrest to the trunk, but keep it light. Weight is a concern when you've only got 185cc to play with! <|

I'm working on some aero, but I doubt I'll go all out with it. I'll save that for the other projects I want to work on, reverse trikes.
