Yeah it didn't look terribly difficult, well worth the results. And if you're in the market for a reverse cone muffler, try these guys:
http://www.coneeng.com
I bought my shorty reverse cone muffler from them and saved a good bit of money over other companies that sell them.
Of course! I sincerely hope that any of the ideas that I come up with can be modified and personalized for others projects! I get many ideas from others as well.
Time to make the seat. I used 1/4in plywood with grooves cut about 1/3 of the way through sitting in a pan of water on top of the wood stove to boil for an hour or so to soften the wood fibers.
Clamping it down to the tail piece to form the required curve
All clamped down and back on the stove to quick dry with more heat.
After about an hour it holds its shape well...
...but I wanted to make sure it held it's shape when the upholsterer covers it with foam and black leather so this steel flat bar was rolled and held down with T nuts and screws. Everything on the bottom of this base must be flush so the seat will sit tight to the steel tail piece.
Trimmed and sanded to shape.
Added 4 "T" nuts for mounting the seat to the base. Now off to the upholsterer.
Resin was the original idea, but I didn't have any at the time and I wanted to get the base done. I still may do it but this works just as well, maybe better.
Speedhut sells them. They have a vast selection and and you can customize your gauges endlessly for no extra charge. Available in MPH or KPH. Cool thing about them is they are only an inch deep. Cost me about $300 for both.
Lol, no worries. I was struggling with the whole bicycle speedo or enduro computer as well as trying to make a speedo drive work with a hub from one bike, forks from another and brakes from a third, but none of those worked for us or the theme of the bike. These look standard but are hi-tech and I like that. Fair warning, they are NOT waterproof but they will add extra sealant at no charge if you ask.
Hey thanks neevo. I'll have some updates soon but it's been slow going with the holidays, a new grand daughter and EXTREME cold weather, even for my part of Canada lol. My garage is not well insulated so when its -30c trying to heat it is a losing proposition lol.
