thank you for the compliment! I have thought of wrapping them... i may... and yes i know i promised. this week i will post a video for sure!

i did a quick mock up of what the hakofugu tank would look like if i dropped that kinda cash.... I think i need it.





man i wish i had that money right now! (note this is not what my bike looks like in real life. I used pixelmator to superimpose the tank onto the bike, this is what i want it to look like eventually!!!!)

Does your K&H seat fit the Hakofugu tank? The standard K&H seats don't fit the Whitehouse tank (according to Ack).

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw your new seat. I think you'll be ok, it looks like the red tank Hako bike on Samu has a stock shaped seat on it.

yea but can they fit k&h seats. there is a small ver small gap between the tank and seat so i think i'll be ok.


jeebus i wan that goddam tank!! i need a whitehouse sponsorship!

Here is a link from another thread to a Whitehouse bike with a tank that looks identical, only painted. It has the stock seat on it which as you know fits very snug up against the stock tank. If the Whitehouse tank fits with the stock seat you should be fine, but for that kind of dough I would still make sure.

veech, good looking out! i am still gonna make sure but you do have a point there.

That cowl is really cool...! How does the seat feel silasco? The leather looks super premium.

the seat is soooo choice, if you have the means i highly recommend picking one up (ferris bueler reference hahah), but seriously my ass slides right into it unlike the factory seat wher eit can ride up onto the passenger cushion. you definitely know where you are on this seat. The cowl is my favorite part. cuts back on the wind and creates an "interior" to the bike which is pretty excellent.
