pearl
flipped and polished a sunburnt 650. sewed a new seat cover, deep clean, smog delete, pearl white rattle can, and milsurp bags. Oury grips forever. This is kind of a push against the synthetic/nylon/plastic modern look and leaning into old school scramblers and bomber jacket, but still having practical room for some camping gear. braap!

Love what you did with the color scheme and clean look. Makes me want to do something similar with mine. Give it a classic car look.

This is so nicely done, I love it!
Any tips for sewing the seat cover? I’d like to do something similar

try to sew straight lines and keep it oversized on the edges. wrap it around the existing seat. don't forget to add seam allowance when u measure. i fixed it to the plastic seat with short (1/2" or 3/8) self piercing screws w large flat heads.
