calling for creative help. was created by Gregl
So im building up this kawi. I got this guy for a cool 200 dollars with a parts bike from a guy who gave up on his cafe project. heres the currrent state of it noticing today that the frame was cut, my original seat idea has gone out the window. so im going to bang out a seat pan from a layer or two of cast aluminum, but was hoping someone on here with a better eye of what looks good could possibly draft up a seat shape idea.

hopefully someone artistic can spitball something my way. i'm Not the most creative guy :P

I would fix or replace the frame and go stock. But if not here's another seat option I just googled. A bit more racy looking maybe.?

Maybe something of a flat track style.

Some of these might spark an interest.

Maybe not but you could use the tail section and other parts. I'm not saying return it to bone stock but you'll have a better starting point. B)
