One-up Two-up seat with removable cowling

[paultsmith]

Thought I'd share my seat for those who want to carry a passenger and still obtain that bubble hump look.

I made the main part of the seat by carving a mold out of florist foam, covering it with metal tape and then fiber glassing over top. To create the removable seat cover/cowl I did the same thing.
The seat cover is secured to the rear passenger section by 4 strong magnets. The 4 magnets are siliconed underneath the seat cover and there is another 4 magnets underneath the vinyl of the rear passenger seat. The cover snaps into place once the magnets are lined up. You can see the 4 magnets underneath the rear vinyl in the photos below, the majority of the time the seat cover is on.

This seat may not be for everyone, but I'd though Id share because I haven't seen anything like it on this site. Its functional and makes it easy to carry a second passenger.

Swivel is not a fan, as I'm sure others are not too.
Although Swivel thought he'd let me know by sending me 2 personal messages. Both stating the same disdain for the seat, but since he spelled "seat" as "sat", he decided to clear this up by sending me a second message.
