Default Working out idea for motorhead/ ww2 fatboy

let’s start by saying I’m in Japan so what may be possible in the states or elsewhere may not here .

First off I’m if any of you are familier with the Chinese CJ750 with sidecar that’s kinda what I’m going for used to ride one in China and even the bike was **** I still loved it until the cops took it away and informed me it was illegal and non of the vin numbers matched ..

anyhow having only rode that bike around Shanghai and never doing any long trips on it I’m curious as to if solo seats are comfortable for longer rides 8plus hours as Tokyo is about that distance from me .

Another question is the shiny raw steel tank and fender look is the metal sealed or is it a pita to keep shiny ?

The idea deal isn’t finished year and there is no one for me to discuss it with here so N.Y. input from you lot is appreciated .

Have a warpig derby cover so far , that’s as much as this idea is off the ground .

Stock seat isn't that comfortable, but there are a bunch of aftermarket seats that are. I have an Ultimate seat which is fantastic.
