MotoFiaccone Outlet Sale

[chrisf]

Hi Gents:

A couple months ago, I started making and selling all aluminum cafe seats. Of course in the process, I managed to screw some up. I was about to trow them out this evening, but figured someone here could use them.

So here's the deal. These are not serialized MotoFiaccone seats. These are scraps pretty much fit for the dumpster. The mistakes range from dipping the tungsten to blowing threw the metal to just plain laying an ugly weld. I rough sanded all of the welds to make them look better, but they are far from perfect. The seats vary from 18ga 3003 aluminum to 16ga aluminum. They will polish out.

1.) As seen in the pic above. Slight asymmetry, which I may or may not fix. The seats needs the bottom sanded/filed smooth. The overall finish is rough sanded. It needs some work.

2.) I blew a nice hole in the seatpan. I went back and filled it, but there is a glob of weld. I'll sand it out, and it will look good. When covered, no one will ever see it. I'd sell this as a proper, full-price seat but I would feel too guilty. IMHO, this is the best of the bunch here.

3.) This is a pretty cool seat. It has a provision in the back for a lucas-style taillight. At least, that's what i think they are called. It's made for the taillight I used on my RD400. The welds are pretty good, but again, the seat isn't perfect. Hence, no full-price sale.

4.) This seat is in pretty shit condition. If you have a nice leather/vinyl cover made for it, no one will ever know. Structurally, it is sound.

OK, the seats are $25/each as is + shipping. No returns. Like I said, they are in pretty awful condition. However, each will polish out. One seat per person; reply with the seat number you want.

--Thanks, Chris

Oh, the seats are basically sized for a CB350/360. The seatpan is 9" at the widest and 7.5" at the narrowest. The overall legth of the PAN is 12.5".

The seat hump is 3" taller than the seat pan, so pretty small. The length of the hump is 6" long.

Chris - let me know what shipping would be on seat #3 - maybe I can make use of it if I get tired of my current seat Alloy tank + seat might look sweet. Any pics of that one?

 

[efocht]

Shipping is probably $20, but honestly, you'd know better than I. The seat itself weighs about 1.5lbs--maybe less. No offense, but I'd prefer the #3 seat not go on your bike. When you get tired of your seat, email me and I'll make you a deal on a proper seat. I actually have a few made if you're interested.

Oh, for the gents that sent payment, I'll post the seats out tomorrow or Wed. I ship off our dock at work, and I'll be in and out of meetings this week.

OK - count me out - when the time comes I'll get you to make me a seat. Would work better anyhow, as my battery tray etc. is all tailored for the current seat.

I might want the #3 seat if available. Can you provide an image? aquaboy009@hotmail.com Thanks!

Hi Guys:

I'm waiting on a payment for seat #4. Seat #3 is still up for grabs. I don't have pictures of these things--my apologies. Like I said, I was literally about to throw them out when I realized that someone of this board might use them. So I snapped a quick photo of seat #1.

I do have nice, finished seats that will get covered this week or next. The price of those seats depends on:

1.) The finish; standard finish is roughed out with 300grit. Fully polished will be more
2.) Seat covering. Leather will be more than vinyl.
3.) Any custom additions will be more

But understand that finished seats are significantly more expensive than the seats I was about to throw away.

[chrisf]

Seat #3 is still available. PayPal to my email address: chris.fiaccone@gmail.com $25 for the seat + $12 shipping.

Still waiting on payment for seat #4. If I don't have payment for it in the morning, I'll let it go to the next person; so get in line. If no one pays by Thurs--when I'm shipping these things out--I'll just throw seat #4 away.
