Members Sawyer Posted July 23, 2008 Members Report Posted July 23, 2008 Here's my next seat. I'm going to do the tooled parts in natural color and spray the surrounding areas black. Quote

Members Sawyer Posted July 23, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 23, 2008 Nice Image. How would you spray the black and not get the tooled part? I did it before , it's alot of patience and mostly luck for me! Quote

Moderator Johanna Posted July 29, 2008 Moderator Report Posted July 29, 2008 Sawyer- that is really nice! Do you have a bigger pic? Don't forget to show it to us after you color it. Johanna Quote
Members Windy Posted July 29, 2008 Members Report Posted July 29, 2008 Really nice work. I have to admit that is the first motorcycle seat to make me smile. WINDY Quote
Members csmartin732 Posted July 29, 2008 Members Report Posted July 29, 2008 ok guys forgive my ignorance, but I have seen several seats posted on here and dont see how any of them look like motorcycle seats. I have owned bikes and not one of them have had a seat like anything I have seen here. I think the designs look great it is the thiness of the seat that is confusing me. I would appreciate a explanation or maybe a pic with the seat on a bike. I am failing to see how the seats would be very comfortable. Thanks for your replies in advance. Chad Quote
David Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I'll try this one, for Chad, Chad try visiting some of the sites for manufacturers of Old School style rigid bikes. These seats are spring mounted not mounted to the frame like what you are used to seeing. Therefore an inch of padding is enough .... not the 4 or 5 inches that your bike has. There are many of these makers around....try Sucker Punch Sallys Detroit Brothers Flyright Choppers If you need more contact me Dave Theobald Quote
Members Sawyer Posted July 30, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks you all very much for the compliments. here's a bigger picture for ya Johanna Chad, this seat will have 1.5 inches of neoprene foam, it will be comfortable. here's a pic of the seat pan and foam, this is the thickest seat i made . i make my own seat pans and they're made to fit the bike they go on. i made a seat for a man that weights in over 300 + lbs and 6'6' tall, that was a huge seat and weighed a lot, it only has 1.25 inches of foam and he loves it. I also redid my seat on my softail, it has a Corbin plastic seat pan and very thin padding, i replaced the cover with tooled leather and left the padding as is , but the seat is very comfortable and i can ride for days with no problem Quote
