750 F2 Cafe racer project 2011
UK Pete:
Following on from the last post
i use a hot air gun and quickly cure the glass resin and break out the sand from the newly made base
Then i clean off all the cement and decide it needs a coating of resin to fill any voids and seal it all up, then i had a brainwave why not tip in a bit of my 2K black gloss to the resin, so thats what i did , and painted both sides
Forgot to mention i built in the mounting studs so i can utilize the original seat hinge and lock
so here it is trimmed up and ready to fit
Wow it fits like a glove
So there you have it a perfect seat base, when i get my tail piece i will have a final fit & trim of the base, the next thing will be to make up the cover, the only thing i am still researching is where or how to get the perfect shaped foam, i dont want to get flat foam from a furniture shop, i have tried that before and it looked shit
Anyone have any suggestions on the foam?

On the Cafe racer program, they used the rear of the fuel tank as a mould for the seat hump.
Like your style Pete!!

I have 3 options for the tail piece, as it happens i do have a spare tank that i could chop up, i saw someone on the us forum use the back of a tank as a tail unit and it looked real good
