Re: DWMS RACING CB550F SUPER REVERSE PORT! GETTING BACK TO WORK!
Brother Yamatech as Brother SlowRoad mentioned I did build the seat myself by hand here at the shop, the original post with the seat build photos is on page 48 of this thread however here is the original post so that you may see the photos easier!
"I still have a lot of work to do but I got the tail section into its basic shape, you all probably know by now that I like to be different and everyone has a fiberglass, aluminum, or metal tail section so I thought that I would build mine out of wood and then carve and woodburn the whole thing!
I really like the look of the old antique laminated wood gun stocks so I decided to build the tail section out of fifteen pieces and put them all togethor to get that look. I will let the photos show the work instead of writing a long post.
Here is a photo of the 1x6x6 wood I bought to build the seat.
I drew and cut out this first basic shape.
I traced the shape to make the other fourteen pieces.
Here are all fifteen pieces sitting togethor.
I used an adhesive to put all of the pieces togethor, after the adhesive dried enough to handle the tail section I traced the bottom outline that we drew onto the wood.
I let the adhesive dry over night and then I cut the basic shape out of the wood.
This is the bottom.
And this is the top.
Next I started to carve the top and sides of the tail section.
I filed and sanded more on the tail section and then started to shape the front of the seat to fit under the gas tank, I also started to smooth the seat section.
I still have a lot of shaping that I want to do and I am going to carve and woodburn the whole tail section, I am also thinking about cutting channels into each side of it as well. I am not sure what all I am going to carve into it but it will definately be getting the family race number 7. After I finish carving and woodburning it I am going to stain and clear it."
Brother sinbad85 the support of Brothers like yourself are what is truly inspiring and the reason that I keep working hard to build bikes like this! Everyones compliments and support mean more to me than I could ever put into words! I am still working on finishing the detail work however we have been very busy here at the shop so there is not a lot of time for me to work on my personal projects however I do hope to have her completed this spring!
Brother SlowRoad I was really honored to have you here and you know you are always welcome any time for a visit!
