kzromey said:nice job Noel! looks good. i was thinkin about the blue camping mat from can tire too, but the stuff you have is beefier, me likes!
speakin of padding, does anyone know about that thick, dense, gel like pad you can also use? i remember seing them at the new years show, you just cut out a square chunk out of your stock seat and replace it with the stuff, feels amazing i hear.

Could you show more detail or expand on using the existing seat cover, specifically how made/attached the transition from seat bottom to backrest/hump?
Thanks!

Hey i told you i was going to use the idea you had i am in the beginning stages i really do not think it will take me long to get my seat together. The pic you see is a trial fit before cleaning the seat pan, sanding, and paint.locO leoN said:hey Magikphun,
Regarding the seat cover, I just had a local leather guy transform the OEM seat cover to fit the new seat & cowl.
To attach the newly modified seat cover to stay on the cowl, I had him sew velcro to the back and used self-adhesive velcro to the cowl side.
Infact the entire cover is attached to the seat pan w. velcro.
I hope that helps.
locO leoN said:WOW.. looks much better now!!..
Are you gonna weld the cowl on or use bolts to mount it?
Are you planning to cut out the bottom of the cowl?
I like the idea of the zx6 integrated light i am leaning toward that also...maybe even LED stylelocO leoN said:Just used a copped back end of a cb550k tank and stock cb750f seat pan...
Basically the same principle as from this thread:

Ugly huh?... notice the spot welds?
After a few hours of sanding w. paper, dremel & other tools w/ some old primer laying around.
a trip to Crappy Tire and a rattle can later:
Slapped on the bike for now, until I'm ready to put the leather and foam together.
The rear turn signals are going to the garbage... I got a taillight from an old zx6r, wired to have integrated tail/stop and turn signals all in one that will fit perfect into the rear gap of the cowl. ;D
What a difference from this:
