What was that Tom, didn't quite hear, was it YAMAHA :o
Nurse Julie:
Millie is all run in now, other than 1 tappet doing a Michael Flattery impression of River Dance, no other issues to report. Therefore, oil and filter change, check and adjust tappets and a general check over of nuts / bolts etc, that's all that needs doing. This is such a brilliant bike to ride, probably the best old Honda I have ever ridden actually, great fun.
Underdog1:
Looking good!
What foam was used for the seat? And how is the seat cover fixed to the pan? Need to sort mine I’ve been threatening to finish for the last millennium
Nurse Julie:
I used re constituted foam, 1" thick and stuck 2 together with HD spray glue. Easy to cut to shape and sculpt with an electric carving knife. After I made the vinyl cover, I stretched it over the metal base Trig made for me and pulled the cover really tight and held it in place with that silver carpet tape. We then used this metal upholstery strip but cut the spikes off and drilled through the holes in the metal strip and the metal pan and held the strips in place with pop rivetts.
I'm just about to make another seat for another project bike so I will take some pics of the underneath so you can see what it looks like.
