Seat work done. was created by waterman
This winter's project was to cut down my seat using the old tried and true method of an electric turkey knife and foam carpet backer, with a belt sander for shaping. In my particular case though, I had to build up the front of the seat to get rid of the LTD saddle effect. I cheated when it came to covering, I bought a Travelcade cover for a KZ1100, which has a mild step and looked like it would work on the seat pan, for a seat cover. Let me know what you think (yeah, I know I need to clean my garage).

I guess not. The pictures are too big. This will take some effort.

waterman, I don't mean to make fun of you but I can't help but laugh.:laugh:
It took me a LONG time before I could post pics, and even now sometimes I don't get it right.:ohmy:
I do, however, look forward to seeing the pics when I get home tonight. Good Luck.
