skeleton seat for my cafe project
1 Attachment(s)
I've been looking around at seats and sinec I am moving more towards a cafe style build for my bike I'm thinking this may be a good light weight seat that looks a little out of the ordinary from the normal cafe seats. It would take a little work to get the angle of the seat right so its not too steep but, I think it would turn out pretty nicely. What do you guys think?

thats pretty gnarley, any pics of it mounted on a bike?
|
Doesn't look like any cafe-style seat I've ever seen...
|
If I even cafe my sporty out. I will not change the two up sundowner seat
|
Looks like a Recaro that came out of a high end Porsche race car.
|
would have to see it on sporty to give it the thumbs up,
any more pics, |
I dig it. Definitely potential in that seat. Oh yeah, Aaron your exhaust rocks. Custom?
|
Yeah the exhaust is custom but, it can be duplicated for a very reasonable price. The guy who built it is doing a limited run of those mufflers in black and also in the raw stainless finish. I think total I may have paid $400 for that exhaust. The entire thing is made from stainless and handbuilt. Just let me know if you'd like something like that and I can put you in contact with him. As for the seat it's made by le pera and intended for an FXR but, I think with the right mounting angle and rear cowl it would flow really well.

I would love a set of those pipes, no doubt about it. I hope to save enough for a set soon. By far the coolest I've seen. IMO. His info would much appreciated. Thanks man!

I like it but it looks pretty simple to make. Maybe take a stock Sportster seat, strip it down to the pan, cut it to the size you want and just use it as the frame cover pan (like the one you posted) and then take a piece of 11 gauge with a mild bend to connect the front to back. Smooth it all up, powdercoat and rivet a center pad.
It would be worth a try if that seat is spendy. I'm doing something similar with a Softail seat. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSCF0750.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSCF0751.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...e/DSCF0752.jpg |
