Cheap leather seat
12/30/09 at 19:43:50
Just redid my seat with 2"closed cell high density foam $13.00 and an old leather jacket. I did the diamond Jim spray foam mod before laying the new foam then sealed it all in plastic. I spray glued and stapled the leather down and sealed it with large amounts of mink oil. I will put it back on the bike tomorrow. I hope my behind likes it.

With all the mink oil, you may find that your cat likes it for a scratching pad. you might want to go with something in bees wax or synthetic.

That was a brilliant idea to use a coat Wolf. I'd like to know if it passes the test.

So I went for a short ride. As you can see in the pic the weather is not ideal. The seat is defiantly better then stock.
If I were to do it again I would shave foam off of some key spots. I would make he rear part of the dip in the seat deeper. I think that would allow me to sit back more and would add to the comfort. A vn750 gas tank should be on my doorstep very soon. I may mess with the way the seat is mounted when I do the tank mod. However, classes start up again on Monday and time will be limited.
Here is a pic with the seat on the bike.

Great seat,wolf. I installed a 750 tank on my savage, it's nice to have that extra 2 gal. of fuel. Took a few modifications on the frame to except the new tank, but well worth it. If I can help with some information let me know. Good luck with your project.
