Ok so i just ended up cutting out an inch of the foam from the stock seat and that worked out the best. No sore ass after an hour of riding. I wish i would've done that a month ago :( It would have saved me a ton of money. Thanks for all the tips and replies guys ;D

The cb750 1978 or older is a good idea. I think all the posts so far pretty much covered everything you need to know. Take your time and research everything you need to do! I did not do enough research and ask enough questions. I was way too anxious to get my seat done that i ended up screwing...

Hi guys :) I need to change out the foam for my fiberglass seat, but i do not know what type of glue the upholstery guy used to make the leather seat cover stick to the fiberglass so well. It's really strong stuff!! Thanks guys ;D

I cut off about that much, maybe a tiny bit more. It still feels good, but because of the wire around the edges of the seat cover, it pinches my thigh when i have my legs down. The stock seat for my bike is very wide and has no curves in it. I am also pretty short and only weight about...

Thanks guys :D I will go with 1" seat foam and try to get a gel pad to add to it!

Hi guys :) I need to redo my seat cushion. It is way too hard and instead of absorbing the impact, it sends my ass right up into the air! I was wondering if you guys could list the material that you used, how thick it was, and how comfortable it is for you? Thanks guys.

A piece of wood for the seat pan will work!! I only need about half an inch. This will save me alot of time pain thanks!!!

Re: Not only my first project bike, but my first bike period! Leave the edges sharp! That shape looks badass!

Holy crap i wish could do that much in thirteen days :( Nice job and damn you even had time to put in accent lights!!

Hi guys :) This is my first time installing something bigger than after market turn signals! A big bike and a big pain in the ass! Seat was upholstered at a small car shop in Hayward for $45. The guy only had to cover it it. I used foam insulation for the seat cushion. I have no idea how it is...

Thanks for the replies guys :) I will check out Michaels again and ask them about it or even try Walmart. The walmart in my area actually has an arts and crafts section. thanks again for the replies, it's given me some hope!

Hi guys :) I am in the process of making my own seat cushion and seat cover. I am stuck atm because i have no idea where i can buy those little metal studs that everybody has on their seats. I know it has to be pretty flat. I am trying to get some dark brown leather for the seat cover and would...

You definately need to put in an airfilter. I do not know where your airfilter is seated, but alot of people like using pod style filters. Check K&N, they have a ton of filter styles and sizes to choose from. I have an 1978 yamaha xs1100 and i am going to put in pod filters. For my bike it will...

Not illegal, you'll be fine ;D

I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but if i had that problem i would just cut a hole into the tail to allow the light to sit inside it as flat as possible ;D

I do not know what is wrong, but i can point you to a place that could get you some answers. This is the forums for my xs1100. The guys there should be able to help you figure out what the problem is. Just register and post the problems along with that WTF pic in the "Other Bike Discussion" I...

Sorry stupid question, but did you get load equilizers for them? I had the same problem when i tried led's. Too much hassle for me so i just went back to filament bulbs :)

Tim's got it. Just head over to the auto parts store and grab an electronic flasher. I had to do the same thing when i changed out my stock turn signals. The only problem is that for my bike it will only flash at 2500rpm+ There are two types that i tried, 2 prong and 3 prong. The 3 prong...

Try to find the european model, i've seen a few for sale here in california. They have a bigger gas tank and are chain instead of shaft.

They are ok bikes, but if you do decide to get one make sure it's atleast a 1983 and up. Anything before that year and you will have the infamous starter gear slippage. I used to have the 1982 xv920. I would not recommend goign any faster than 75mph on it. The only thing i liked about ti was...
