Hey guys,
I've seen a lot of good advice and methods for seat pan fabrication here but not so much when it comes to foam. I guess for the generic CB stuff it's pretty easy to just put a flat piece of foam on it and get it upholtered with a roll-tuck however I'm attempting something a little more tricky.
As you may know the XJ650 has a step-up on the frame between rider and pillion - I'm planning on taking an old seat pan and modifying it so that it has a flat rider seat and then a hump - something like the XS special seat in the picture however with the XJ pan the foam is going to have to do a lot of the work in making the shape look right. Does anyone have any advice on a foam that I could use that is able to be either sculpted or molded.
Also feel free to suggest another way to approach this. My goal is to have the stock seat for two-up and a more slim-line single seat with a hump for everyday thus I plan on using a stock pan for the other seat as to keep the stock mounts.
I'm probably crazy but I don't like to just copy what's been done 1000 times already.
