750ss Cafe Racer seat unit build

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by FlatLine, Mar 10, 2012.

  1. Hello all

    I am building a 750ss cafe racer, which will be posted soon

    In the meantime I thought you might be interested in this part project

    I have started to build a fiberglass seat for the DuCafe Racer.

    There are plenty of pictures here so you can see the first build from start to finish

    ImageShack Album - 59 images

    So, the seat unit was built, which proved I can do it!

    It also allowed me to look at what can be changed or improved

    I decided I want the seat to sit on top of the frame rather than hanging down over the side of it, so I built another one

    This time I covered the plug in silver tape as silver foil is a bit loose

    I am now playing about with some different colour schemes

    Here are some photos of the second build and the first go at the colours

    I reckon the white stripe is too wide and the red and green stripes are too narrow

    I will probably make another seat unit and paint it black with the red, white and green stripes

    Then make a decision............

    Hope you find it interesting

  2. Lovely job, one day I'll have the time to play around with stuff like this! And I can't see any difference in the stripes, they look spot in to me!
