ok guys... need some help/advice here...
When I bought the bike from my friend, he has welded some raised supports on the frame for the new seat:
And this is the seat he threw in:
Now I didn't really care for the seat much (partly because it needed some 'glass work in the back) and because I thought I would like the tracker look more... and I cut off the tabs he had welded on...
SO... I decided to try fabbing one up with a skate deck and some foam:
I got some foam, shaped it and took it to a local shop to have them upholster it... unfortunately, it didn't retain much of the up-sweep I planned for and, quite frankly, I hate the way it looks:
Now I am thinking I DO want a fiberglass cafe style seat after all... but seeing as how I cut those raised supports off, do I have any options that will seat flush on the frame? and a seat that doesn't have a gaping hole in the rear? What are you guys using?
Also, I prefer to just buy one rather than make one at this point. After wasting so much time on this thing I'd rather just break out the pocket book....
anddddddd........... GO!
