You ever get those pics posted. Would love to see.

I probably have a good 18 hours in the whole deal....Labor of love

Thanks

Bremen Here......just got the beast 1980 xs850 running

SO I went with drag bars that have a slight 2" pull back. couldn't quite bring myself to wreck my wrists on a broomstick....

This stuff was realy a pain in the ass but I really enjoyed the labor of love and brushing up on my upholstery.

Took the cut off pieces and filled the cafe hump then covered it with the firmest carpet padding I could get. It took quite a lot of finagling but it turned pretty sweet. Then came up with a design . Bought some vinyl and got to work.

Had to test the fit on the bracket and then cut a relief in the back of the pan to flatten the back. Kept the sides of the pan to follow the lines of the side covers.

Marked out how much I wanted off the sides of the stock seat pan, cut out a sliver and then cut the foam to match. Then worked on heigth of the foam and the curve up.

I needed a cheap way to transform my stock seat into a Cafe style seat so I came up with this.

Used my old sock xs850 seat and transformed it into my cafe racer seat. $37 in the marine vinyl....... Love how it turned out

Thats amazing man. Can you help a cleaning failure, to see the light? What sort of process do you go thru to get thta stuff to shine like that.....especially the fork lowers? any tips from a master would be appreciated...

I don't know how everyone gets multiple pics of thier build on but I'm getting very frustrated...... ??? I have euro bars in mind I really wanted to go with clubmans but it seems like I will be laying on this long ass tank? I don't know This is just the stock bars turned upside down...

SO its freezing......but I can't stay away...
