My new chopper seat

[toker_ace]

This bike kills my rear end with a traditional seat. So, I built my own fat boy seat!

Love the backrest

Quick question.. How did you go about designing the seat? Im planning on building one for my new ride..

 

[StrontiumEthics]

How did you design it? What did you have to weld?

 

[toker_ace]

actually, I didn't weld anything. I took an old seat that comes with the occ's and took the seat off the post.Then I cut the part that bolts to the seat in half.That gave me a flat place to mount my new seat. I got a guy at the local welding shop to heat up and bend me a piece of steel.I then cut me a seat and backrest out of 3/4" plywood and covered it myself.Once I was done I had to add some washers here and there to get my angle of my seat right.

Didnt quiet understand those parts. and how did you bend the steel? I got an old steel chair from the garbage I want to make something very similar but not quiet.
