Time to take care of the seat pan.



















Ready to upholster.

Does it just slide on the studs? Like a friction mount?

Yup! The pan will get foamed and upholstered as you see it so the grommets pop/slide right onto those alum studs. I've done it before (see below) on other seats and it works really well.

Thats a really clever idea Jay.

Clever indeed. I may need to try it. Haha.

Foamed up and delivered to the upholsterer.






Push button shroud to help guide your finger-pushing and keep the oil lines out of the way of the button.

Riding it will be more comfortable when the seat is done. The upgraded suspension bits in the 39mm front end feel really nice.

Where does one pickup foam like that?

I get it from a guy I use for upholstery services, it's called rebond or rebonded foam. The are a few places you can find it online if you can't buy it locally.

Online foam place

Done and being ridden. Man I have to say, putting the Racetech fork emulators and Speedmerchant preload adjusters in the 39mm front end make for a great front end. This bike feels glued to the road.

Looks sick, Jay.

I got to see this on Saturday at the Return to Milltown show and it is even better in person.

This bike is up for sale in the Classifieds! Anyone that has a nice extra cab 4wd truck or van that they want to get rid of, I'd be willing to trade.

Here's pics of some of the details.
