Desert sled style checkered seat for project Townsmoker

We moved project Townsmoker to the Rusty Gold shop. While I'm waiting for my gas tank to be painted I'm playing with tape on my seat. Hot or not? I'm thinking of doing bigger checks, this seems a little much...

Just to get an idea how it looks with a gas tank I put an xt500 tank from the shop on the bike. :))) 

The plan now is to get it on the road in a few weeks, it won't be perfect but I can finish the details later on while riding. It's about time, the last time I rode this thing on the road is nearly 3 years ago!
