Some notes:

The restoration project took me 4 months of intense work, where I devoted all my spare time to it, averaging probably 20 hours or more a week.

The solo seat was purchased from a friend after I finished the bike, and cost less than half the retail price for a similar one.

The parcel rack was also purchased later, at full retail from Blue Moon Cycle.
