Yeah, I have a couple of the only other box-section swingarm with big bearing spindle conversions that Kenny Dreer made. Still wondering what I'll ever do with the one that's on the shelf...

I always liked the look of that bike. Does anyone know what is involved in fitting the fastback seat to an interstate tank? I've been assuming one just shortens the seat to fit, and then has it upholstered.

That bike really looks great, never seen the combination of the early Fastback seat and Interstate tank.
BTW, does any of you have experience with these Keihin flatslide carbs ?

The L R Fastback seat pan is steel , if the std. Fastback isnt . Would only need a few inches of the front .
Could look groovier with the back lip / roll down level with the top of the fibreglass . Perpendicular to lip .
