The seat was a project on its own. Yoshi didn't want a plain old black seat on top of this bike. After he'd seen an old '57 Chevy, he knew just what to do. After digging an old seat pan from the stock room, he stripped off all the old vinyl. Then, the seat was covered in an orange and white '50s-style tuck-and-roll fashion.
The outcome of this bike made Yoshi very happy. He set out on an all-day ride, probably making a stop at some swap meet to look for his next project to bring the past back to life and keep these pieces of history rolling on down the road.
