After I bought my bike, I realized to first thing on the to do list was the seat. I was rather dissapointed that I couldn't stay on the bike for 1 hour, being totally uncomfortable, and my a** still hurting after I have gotten off. I got to the point were I starting riding on a pillow without the seat being on the bike but wasn't comfortable leaving it parked in the open or were anyone could mess with it. So, I pulled the cover off the seat and started going at the foam with a razor blade and grinder to shape it for more contact area. I didn't take a pictures shaping the foam, I didn't actually think I was going to use it again, but turn out alright.
I noticed that there around 2 inches in the seat pan that is raise right in the tailbone area for the tool kit to sit.
I took the hump out to flatten out the surface area
I cut the bracket that the toolkit bungie hooks to off:
I turned the bracket around and mounted it back onto the fender. There is one little piece that needs to be bent or cut off so it doesn't scrape into the fender:
The part of the pan that was cut out has the little hook for the rear support. I cut that out, mocked it up to were it needed to be, and the used self tapped screws to temporarily hold it in place. I used flat head bolts and nuts to mount it:
At this point I took the pan and foam to a buddy of mine to do the rest. For the big hole in the pan, he use aircraft aluminum and bolts to fill it.
Here is the final product:
The flames didnt come out quite like I wanted. This is my next project, hopefully I'll have it done in the next couple of years...
Whatcha think??
