homemade cafe seat any pointers before I start?

[JESUS FREEK]

First off I have been lurking on here for quite some time. My cafe is almost complete as you can tell from the avatar and if I can figure out how to lower the pixel size of the pics I will post better pics. I wanna do a cafe seat, I am cheap/frugal so I dont wanna spend the money ebay is asking. I have some spare parts in the garage. I like the stuff Noel has been doing ya know chopping up perfectly go nos parts. HA! HA ! My bike a 1975 cb550 f currently has a K tank on it. Because the F tank has so many rust holes at the bottom of it. It looks like a crime scene from CSI lots of stab wounds. Also I have a F tank that will not be touched as I havent got around to painting it. My 550 currently has a K seat and K tank. Would it look stupid if I used my holey F tank as my bump stop{ the dreaded cowl} on my cafe seat. I do have a F seat on the shelf as well. My thoughts were to create a bump stop that could easily be removed on those nights I wanna bring the wife on a ride. Has anyone done this,or is it easier to just cut up the F tank and starting from scratch?
cheers
