Ski/snow board seat.

KVoom:
I am making a seat from an old disgarded board... it cost me nothing and I've made the first few cuts, this is a work in progress I won't be putting seating foam on the seat instead i will paint it in a full gloss black with a race strip down the middle, due to the slight curve it doesn't sit flush on the frame which acts like a sprung seat to some degree...I hope i am not on a slippery slop with this idea.

Some initial pics:

The board as she was. This was being thrown out.



And now after a few cuts.



This is the general shape and size I am going for, see I am starting on the bum stop in all I think this will cost me about $30 finished.

DreadRock:
Have to say very cool idea ! going to be a rough ride im thinking tho, you might want to run some foam across the seating area . then say cut out where you want your stripe to run would make like a raised seat ? how big is the bump your planning on building ?

joeybaggadonuts:
neat idea, nice execution so far! what are you planning on using for the rest of the bum stop?

modifiedamerican:
Anxious to see the outcome!

KVoom:
This is going on a very small bike a Kawasaki KV 100 and it is my first build so I am open to ideas on the size of the bum stop, I plan to run more of the same material from the bum stop to the end of the board following the downward curve, so the tail will drop down toward the stock mud guard which i will keep on the bike, it looks kinda cool like that in my opinion. The old tail lamp fitting looks good so no need to change that.

Here's a shot of her backside.



As for the height of the bum stop well it is at 4" but it could be smaller.

Also I like the suggestion of some foam pieces for comfort, see what eventuates.

Thanks for your feedback so far.
