Custom Seat
take some sheet metal and cut it to
size of old seat but with 1''-ish of overhang. Put
on bike and take a ball peen hammer and pound the
seat into shape while on the bike. Find an old
leather jacket or something of the sort for an
outer layer. Find some foamy stuff, I used 8
layers of the foam pad you put on top of a bed.
Cut the foamy stuff to fit over seat with a little
overhang. Rough cut the leather so it fits over
foam and metal sheet. Tape leather to seat for
general view. Use rivets to attach the top side of
the leather to the seat. Cut excess leather off
from bottom of seat. Attach bottom side of leather
to seat with rivets. Boom got a nice custom seat.
Took me about 2 hours while I was also smoking
hookah. Not very difficult if you plan ahead and
think things through!
