oo pretty shocks

 

thanks, the seat should be done tonight.

 

the seat isnt done, as i have yet to put the final coat on, or paint the gold stripe yet, but here's some teaser pictures!







id love any input on how i can mount the foam to the fiberglass.

and here's the shocks.

 

Interesting project.

On the seat generally I like to use a backing board inside the base of the seat. Could be as little as some 1/4" ply cut to the shape of the seat. You can then install some blind nuts in the ply for fastening. It also will allow you to properly upholster the seat , make tight wrinkle free corners and miter/cut and staple the vinyl on the back side so it all can sit flat to the surface.

 

holy ****, that seat pan, shocks, and rearsets are amazing looking.

 

yes i am using 1/4 in wood on the base of the foam seats,
however i believe i am going to abandon the current look and use stainless steel snaps to hold down the pads like so:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

that was my original plan, however most upholsters told me it would take 200~ to do even if i included all the materials.
so i did it myself for 32.00

ill have more pictures tonight on what i plan on doing.
the vinyl used was marine vinyl,
19bucks/sq yrd. 1 yard was enough.


attaching the foam is by far the hardest part of the whole bike so far.

 

a few parts and secret mock up!
