Can anyone point me towards a DIY fiberglass seat walkthrough that doesn't use wood as the base?
I'm thinking of building a custom seat for my XS650, without cutting the frame or modifying the hinges. I have not found any pictures of anyone else trying this. The key will be in the seat's ability to contour to the frame, rear fender (while in place) and over the stock airbox.
I don't want to use wood because it won't contour to the rear fender. This means more fiberglass and I guess more batting?
I intend for the seat to have a "cafe bump", so foam will be used to form that.
So, any threads already cover some of this?
