  8. I used the stock seat pan and traced it on the foam... border='0' alt='user posted image' /> I employed a electric craving knife to cut out the outline and then beveled the bottom 1 inch to allow a more level seating position... border='0' alt='user posted image' /> I finished the rough cuts with a hand held air driven sander... border='0' alt='user posted image' /> I made the cover out of black canvas and popped rivet it on... border='0' alt='user posted image' /> Not the greatest but it works... it took about 4 hours of time and about $100.00 in materials...
  9. True to their racing heritage Mr.RC45 only comfortable for about 30 minutes in the saddle... I don't have a titanium butt so I built my own custom seat of 3 inch block of temper foam... this mod afforded enough comfort to travel 600 miles in a day... "Temper Foam® is a temperature sensitive foam which gets softer and more malleable when warmed and firmer when cooled. Similar to a liquid gel, becoming firmer upon impact, yet feeling soft and fluid to the touch. It is a visco- elastic material ideal for orthopaedic and prosthetic applications. With its firm elastic flow and non-stick properties it eliminates soreness and pain caused by long periods of pressure." http://www.keesgoebel.com/t.foam.htm I started with a shinny black board Honda calls a race saddle... I laid the stock seat pan over a 3 inch block of T47 extra firm... I cut the basis shape using a electric carving knife... I glue the foam to the plastic pan with 3M Weather Strip or Gorilla Snot if you will... next I shaped the foam with a air driven sander... Behold... I went from a racing seat to a 600 mile seat... old guys know comfort and know how to get it too...
