* I did not like the bolt-on rear. While it had a nice cross member it was a pain to bolt on.
* Seat frame was too wide and is now a snug fit.
* The front was a little high in the gooseneck and the forks so that was compacted and the mounting bolt was changed to a simple coach bolt.
* The springboard axle was a success and could be added permanently.
* The back rest brackets looked terrible and slipped. Now I build a large h-frame hydraulic press I could bow some tube to fit the arch of my back.
* The seat was totally rebuilt. A little more 3D in shape and better located straps to support it.
* Spent a long time on the axle brackets and in the end it was so simple.
End result is stiffer, lighter and better fitting. Still want to make a mesh kit bag for the rear but for now it's ready to ride.
