Where I'm at so far...

I'm down in Florida. Look around for me though and if you find any seats let me know- at the same time that's quite the trip. Well I have the duckbill shape with the tank line in the middle done. It's HUGE! I have lots more work to do- gotta scale it down more- very tough to get everything even...

Probably aluminum but at this point I'll take anything. It's impossible to find a seat that looks good on this bike. Just got back from the surfboard shaper- he wasnt really any help. Looks like I'm back on my own.

Machine shop#1- What a joke. I have drawings- measurements pretty much everything short of an autocad drawing- I'm showing the guy make another model for me. I don't know how to read your mind he tells me... Back to the drawing board...

Sorry if I post this in the wrong spot but I have a buddy who has some parts for the old suzuki water buffalo. He's got some brakes he was having rebuilt- they never were finished and a dual disc front end. He's also got an old RD in boxes he's trying to get rid of. If this can help anyone out...

Finally got a machine shop who said no problem... they also didn't tell me a price yet. I'll keep ya posted.

I'm trying to get a meeting with a machine shop- I did the full scale and its so uneven. The small one wasnt hard at all- it's pretty rough though. If I can afford it I am gonna try to get a machine shop to make a plug so I can make multiple seats (as suggested) and then anyone who needs one can...

I made a small model of the seat out of florist foam. I tried full scale and it didn't work out with my shaping skills... I had to glue two pieces of foam together so disregard the glue. If all goes as planned this should be what the finished product looks like and mind you it's not to scale...

I checked out those seats on ebay... Not a big fan but I definately appreciate it. I am looking into something here- I contacted a local custom surfboard maker. He said he could shape foam for me however I wanted. I am going to get him to make a mold for me to mimic the lines of the stock tank...

I'll post some pics of my bike when I get a chance. I made a bunch of calls today to the guys at glass from the past, hanger lane and roc city among others. I e-mailed them all some pics to show them what we are all talking about. When they get back to me I'll post again. The one pic of the hawk...

Question for you guys out there. I have a 1978 CB400Tii. Doing a cafe conversion and I am having trouble finding a seat. I have found one picture of a cm400 (same frame) with a straight cafe seat and it looks terrible. The bike has a weird bend in the frame so flat seats will work but it looks...
