Has anyone here made their own seat?
I have a couple of bikes that doesn't have a OEM seat, and I don't want to be using something that doesn't fit the frame...
I made one for my Cheney XT this winter, using a fiberglass YZ125C base, wich I cut apart and removed/added fiberglass to make it follow the frame.
Then used a foam for the same bike, and added on and grinded off foam where it needed, then taped the whole seat tight with duct-tape, glued on a 3mm layer of stiffer foam to hide the tape. Then glued a soft wolly 4mm layer to the back of the cover to straighten things a bit more.
A lot of work, but turned out good.
I'm now starting on a seat for my Cheney XL, found that a RM125-78 foam looks about right.
Thinking of making a new base in alloy, but I probably need to modify the foam a bit here also.
So any tips on how to make a modded foam look good will be very welcome!!
