Fiberglass Cafe Seat

[Redbird]

Sized for larger framed bikes. I picked it up to use on my '78 CB750K, but decided to go a different route.
Dimensions are roughly:
1.5" at seat
7" at bum stop
29" long
8.5" at front of seat
10" at rear of seat

$100 shipped anywhere in the continental U.S.

Bump.
Realized I paid less for this than I thought.

$50+ shipping.

Where did you buy it from?

 

[J-Rod10]

Looks like Roc City.

 

[Redbird]

I bought it off an individual here on DTT.
It's not a Roc City seat, but iirc Roc City got their panties in a bunch over it's similarity.

 

[rockcitycafe]

similarity as in a direct copy off a part the dude bought from me, but frankly I don't care anymore, I make them cheaper than that garage hack could now anyway and mine are trimmed, and I don't spew styrene vapor and chopped strand into my neighbors yard in order to make a quick buck

flame on

Would you please stop acting like a chick that cought a glimpse of another girl in the same prom dress! Its a 50 dollar seat thats going to its third owner, if in fact it is a copy im sure the damage is done.

 

[rockcitycafe]

seeing it resold doesn't bother me, just feel like I was definitely justified getting panties bunched at the time of the copies being made

 

[bradj]

Take it as a complement and let it go you only running off future customers by making a big deal outta something there is no real way to prove

 

[Redbird]

but frankly I don't care anymore...

Ya sure?
'cause it seems like the panties are still kinda knotted up

 

[rockcitycafe]

ok, gimme. whats your paypal, I'll buy the damned thing and stick it back in my mold, case closed once and for all

 

[Redbird]

Phew... thanks for clearing up that knotted panty question :
Well there are two people ahead of you in line, so I'll keep ya posted

But I don't know... If I sell it to you, and it does happen to fit your mold. The Heavens will open up, Angels will sing, World Peace will ensue, Skinny Elvis will come back from the dead, Unicorns will return and cure cancer, Champagne would fall from the sky, Doors would open, Velvet ropes would part....
And you'll destroy the seat.
If it doesn't happen fit your mold, the following Gasp will pull those knotted panties clear into your upper gastro-intestinal tract. Then, Judgment Day will ensue(but will be hosted by Dr. Phil), Justine Bieber will become King, Banjo Kazooie will become the only video game available, the dead will rise from the grave, humans will be sacrificed, Dogs and Cats will start living together, Mass Hysteria!...
And you'll destroy the seat.

I'd kinda like the seat to go to someone who'll actually use it :-\
You know... seeing how "you don't care" and all.

 

[rockcitycafe]

I don't think I'd destroy it, and I doubt I'd even say a word about it, but in the event someone in the future told me I was full of shit, I'd show them the proof. it wouldn't change anything, for some reason you catch a lot of shit for owning a business and *gasp* making a living selling handmade parts to people with the same interest as you and providing them with good stuff at reasonable prices. all the while doing it on the up and up, paying the taxes, disposing of the chemicals, limiting the emissions, etc etc, basically, not being a douche and undercutting some guy by cutting corners, sorry for the rant, but I'm terrible at marketing and should really only post happy handjob crap on forums so that everyone likes me more

 

[Redbird]

Eh, maybe it's just me, but I think people would like you more if you didn't come across like a 13y/o girl who just got diss'd on facebook.

 

[rockcitycafe]

gonna sell it to me or not?

 

[irk miller]

Can I buy the seat to make a mold of it? I'll give it to one of those people on your list for free when I'm done. I'll even use non-toxic resin that doesn't produce emissions. Win-win for all.

 

[Redbird]

gonna sell it to me or not?

I told ya, you're third in line. I'll keep ya posted

 

[AppleDappleMan]

To be honest I think roc city has every right to be mad. Who wouldn't be mad if someone is selling a copy of your product that you put work into designing. You guys should at least give him that respect.

But then again a patent would have been a good idea roc city.

 

[irk miller]

That's not something you patent, it's something you copyright. And that's assuming it's his design. Not sure anyone here invented the cafe seat.

By his own admission, he copied the seat from Triumph.

Who copied it from Norton, who copied it from Matchless, who copied it from the Pharaohs, who copied it from Jesus, who copied it from Capt. Caveman, who copied it from...
