Excellent step by step tech article, Chopper Rick! Paul Cox sure makes it look easy, doesn't he ? :wink: Actually, if one takes their time, it would come out fine & be a true one-off piece.

(But I think I'll start using that Bosch foam cutter for carving the Thanksgiving turkey, just to get some practice, LMAO!)

that's cool but is there anyway to make a stock seat more comfortable. Thanks for the pics though

There sure is, you can try padding the seat more with something like a gel pad, making the seat a little wider & having the seat lift up a bit on the rear section of the seat can help too.

Believe it or not, the 250 Rebel seat was more uncomfortable on my chronic back problem than riding the hardtailed chop. First I thought that if I could lower the seating position by removing some of the seat foam, it'd feel better, so had the padding lowered to 1" thick & then re-upholstered, only to find out later that there's a metal plate beneath the stock seat foam that can be removed...DOH! Apparently, it's the metal plate that adds to the discomfort.

Speaking of making your own seats..I've just began on a rear seat for my rebel...

Not much done really..I just beat the sh*t out of an aluminum plate :lol:
