My first "DIY" Seat made from a steel tractor seat.

So here is my first attempt at making a seat pan/seat. This is what is done so far until i get it lightly padded and wrapped in leather. What do you think?

Looks cool. whats it going on?

X2 on what's it going on, certainly not a cafe?

Thanks.

Im throwing it on an 82 GS450L that im turning into a Bobber/Brat bike but with a sporty look. Well, gonna try at least. If i comes down to it, im going to Brat/Bob it but keep it where i can turn it into a Cafe in the future unless i can find another project bike to Cafe and keep this one Bobbed.

After tearing this thing apart i have quite a few spare parts i can use for the Cafe build.

IDK. We will see how things go.

Here is what i started with.

very cool idea, as a farm boy i appreciate it.

Thanks Madd! Yeah i just can't decide if i want to wrap it in leather or if i just want to grind it down and leave it out over a few nights to rust and then clear coat it just for that rustic look.

What do you guys think?

Depends on the rest of the bike.

Well imagine the bike with a lower rear end, stripped down to as close to bare bones as i possibly can, with a roughed up looking black semi gloss paint job with .38 rounds punched in the sides of the tank. Oh and i am going to rust up the fenders.

I am going for kind of an old western style "Steel Horse" Theme. Or like a post apocalyptic look.
