My First Chopper Seat (Finished)

[Indy]

Well, my very first motorcycle seat for a honda chopper is finished now and hit the road today for the first time. Some work steps went easyer as expected, some where hard as hell (especcialy the wet forming on the heavy seat piece)

after collouring and antiquing the job I sealed it with 3 coats of resoleene. I hope that was any good?

Here are some pictures, unfortunally I didn't made very good detail shots of it so far. I will borrow the seat in April do make some more. I'd love to get some comments from you guys here

Looks really good to me. Yeah forming those guys can be a battle sometimes. Those are some nice colors.

Now you gotta get ahold of that passenger seat and do that up as well.

I actually really am. I was hoping to do a chopper seat since about 4 years or so. Making one like this at last was quit a premiere I was looking for, though I wished he requested a more fancy carving and I would have done the sew line different, but that's just open to the next seat, I say

Very nice! Colors are great!

Keep up the good work!

Nice job - VTX seats are hard due to the fat azzed tanks I think ;0) Still holding off on doing my own. I think I'll just do the old stock one first before tearing into the $$$ aftermarket one I have on it now.

Well done
