Cool. I was thinking about ordering a new seat, but you've just opened another option for me

Go for it!

I would have actually glued the whole surface top and the backing of the vinyl push it in place smoothed it out then brought it around after dried and stapled

This is just what l need to do. I have a BMW and the seat foam is too wide so l just want to trim the sides. Thanks buddy.

I don't sell them, this is just a project I am working on.

Question..what grit sandpaper do you recommend? Thank You RSG!

@rabidsquirrelgarage745

3 жыл бұрын

for the seat, I used a rough grit, don't remember what grit it was, 100 maybe.

Very Nice! What material did you use on the seat? Also, I see you swapped out the rear shocks for the Rebel shocks since the video before this one. Did you have to modify the chain length once you installed the shorter shocks?

@rabidsquirrelgarage745

For the seat, I used marine vinyl. For the shocks, no need to change anything! Just swap out the shocks.

It's not exactly the most comfortable seat but not bad.

Great work! You mentioned swapping out the rear suspensions for ones from a 250 Honda Shadow - would that also work for both 125ccm bikes?
