my brat build

just picked up my 1980 kz1000b4 gonna be a long project but will post pics as i go along. might have some questions here and there.

and does anyone have a flat brat seat or know someone who will upholster a seat for cheap cheap

Cheap, cheap.... cut down the foam w a nasty old saw & recover it w some marine grade vinyl - fabric stores typically carry it.

Or use an electric carving knife to shape it better. The Travelcade instructions say to spray the top of the foam w Super77 spray adhesive or something similar.

yea i know how to make the seat how i want it but to actually cover it the way i want i got know clue oh to do any of that... never touched a sewing machine in my life lol

Cheap, cheap, you wouldn't use a sewing machine. Just cut the fabric a little larger than needed, pull it into position over the prongs to snag it & kinda tuck & fold it at the corners etc. I'm assuming your pan has the pointy prongs. Bend them out to ~45^o, poke holes w an awl, then press the material onto the prongs. Bend the prongs back to the original position & cut off any excess material.

Or try to adapt a flat seat cover from a standard model.

That LTD seat would sell good on eBay. Sell it and buy another.

No doubt. What do you want for it?!!

Shoot me an offer

Also does anyone know what i need to do to have a kickstart only? I want to compleatly delete the battery and ignition system. Only want the lights i need. A bare bike

You gonna push it around?

He probably means that he just wants to eliminate the unnecessary electrical stuff.
