passenger seat idea

31 Jan 2007 15:02

I took a 12 x 12 piece of 5/8 black acrylic and cut it in half.I put them together with 3m lamination tape to make a 6" wide platform.drilled two 1/4 holes to go in pre-existing holes. I used aluminium foil to make a drill template. socked in 1/4 x20's and put crepe pads under the back to add support and shock absorb shion.I need only to add the custom chopper seat with suction cups.

The company that sells the cop bikes on eBay from Canoga Park CA also sells a passenger peg kit and a bolt on rear seat. Their rear seat looks more comfy than the seat you are using.

Around here the Harley guys call them "meat tenderizers".
I had to ride bitch on a friend of mine's hardtail Harley to work one time because my car was broke.
Never again.
