this part of it is going to be fiberglassed in and supported with steel strips. the front flat spot is about 2 " above my cut down seat, so this will be a little cushion. i will post more pics whn i get it done.

thanks

well, the foam that i used is the foam that hobby people use to put plastic flowers in (ya know like at a restaraunt) it worked out great. easy to shape and very light. glues together easily to make more.

alss i am going to do is frame it. then fiberglass over it. it has a ridge about 2" high in the back of the seat. so i will put a little pad there.

as far as the swing arm and tire, they are off of a 2003 gsxr. the front is going to be the same. (a matching set)

i will keep you guys up dated with pics on the seat stuff.
