bustedlifter Report post Posted March 18, 2008 A buddy of mine calls me last Tuesday and says he's sending a seat pan for a bike he's putting in a show early next month. The artwork is with it and he needs it back by next Friday at the latest. I received it on Thursday and shipped it back to him yesterday afternoon. The last seat I covered for him was for a BSA he built and it won the semi-pro class at this show 2 years ago.He was invited to the Top 50 Builders show at Sturgis last year.

bcurrier Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Beautiful work. I like how you take advantage of the beveling halo for modeling purposes in the eyes. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like how you take advantage of the beveling halo for modeling purposes in the eyes.Bill Thanks, the eyes were open a lot more on the original art, I thought it would look better slightly open. I changed the moustache and added the goatee, also. Edited March 18, 2008 by bustedlifter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spider Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Wow, even such a simple pan seat can look badass with you working on it. Very cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Definetly a hot item! Unique and nice motif and the border is really nice and should appeal to the biker scene I think. Did you come up with the border yourself? Good luck to your both! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shirleyz Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Great Job Busted. How thick is the foam on that? ShirleyZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustedlifter Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Thanks everyone. Tom, the basic border design was with the art he sent, I just embelished it a little. ShirleyZ,there's a Razor scooter innertube in it in the widest part and 3 layers of my wifes old yoga mat take up the slack in the front. Here's a bottom view; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Hey Bustedlifter, Can you show a pic of the Razor scooter Innertube? I know you have mentioned it before and I still don't get how it fits inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bustedlifter Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Hey Bustedlifter,Can you show a pic of the Razor scooter Innertube? I know you have mentioned it before and I still don't get how it fits inside. Sure, check it out I bend my pans with a kind of flat spot on the bottom of the curve, that's where I put the tube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Hey guy, Great tooling on the seat. You've done a great job on it. Way to work under pressure too. Gotta love those deadlines. David Theobald Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta love those deadlines.David TheobaldThanks Dave! I ditched my BK beveler and used my old Craftool on this one. The thing is he got a hold of me a couple months ago to cover a seat, then I didn't hear from him again until last week. No problemo!Hey Busted,What heappens if you get a flat?ShirleyJust squirt some fix-a-flat in it! Edited March 18, 2008 by bustedlifter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
