78 gs550 cafe seat build (done)

[akaerik21]

I got the seat shaped the way I wanted it and smoothed out with the die grinder.
I started building a small fiberglass part to close off the area where all the electronics are mounted and it will also hold the taillight. I didn't have any fiberglass mat, but I did have some carbon fiber laying around from a car project a few years ago.

I"ll post more pics as soon as I get to work and get it upholstered.

I got the seat cover made up today at work. I'm pretty excited about how well it came out considering I haven't sewn up tuck in roll pleats in almost a decade. I'll post pics tomorrow once I have the seat cover installed on the pan and mounted on the bike. I also picked up an old HD tail light and mounted it on the carbon fiber piece I made to hide the electronics.
