Seat Work

It's been a while and I kinda forgot to update on the wiring harness, but that's done. I'll get some pics later before the bike is together. Anyway, here's where I'm at now. I made the seat cushion pan to match the seat tail pan. The front end of it was also boxed in to go over the tank mount.

Yesterday I did most of the seat cover in marine vinyl. Took a bunch of test runs making sure that I could get the pleats straight and parallel, then I made a small test piece to see what the final product will turn out to.

I was pretty happy with how this turned out for a first try, so I did a ton more practicing for the pleats then went for it. The foam is 2 layers of 1/4" scrim foam (fabric backed so the thread doesn't pull through). The 3 layers are spray glued together to make the whole process easier.

This last picture has the cover just taped to the pan to get a good idea of how its coming along. Still have to finish the front section, it just got too late to do it (and I was getting a little frustrated with it).
