Herm Narciso, Dime City Cycles - Makes a Fiberglass Cafe Racer Seat! - Part 2

[SidPalm13]

You are the man Herm. Thanks for this bad ass video. I am building an 82 kz550 ltd right now. It will be the first bike I have ever owned and I figured if I am gonna ride then I need to build my own bike. I live in Ocala and I am building it in my garage.

this information is priceless to me,im building my cycle on a budget and i cant afford some nice seats...thanks alot!

I get how you make the seat, and this may be a dumb question, but how do you attach the actual fiberglass "tail section/seat" to the frame? The original seat has the hard bottom "frame" with the hinge to attach it (on a CB360T). I am wondering how the finished painted tail section attaches to the frame. Thanks, and great video

Part 3!!!!!d Sanding, priming and painting? Please Please Please!!!!!

[jmartin929]

Yeah, is there a part 3? Very nice work btw! i especially like the lip for holding the seat pad in place

[dimecitycycles]

Hey guys, we just use industrial strength velco to stick the pad to the seat pan. As for the foam, we get it from the local craft supply store.

I understand adding the lip around where the upholstery goes, however i'm curious how you mount the upholstered section to the fiberglass?

[ISH8717]

Where do you buy the foam

[destro513]

I made mine out of metal.. Nice work!

[GasserGlass]

Inside out but the idea is right.....

[mondrian5]

That's great! Thank you Herm and CafeRacerTV. Part 3 to show finishing please?

[441rider]

Gotta love foam sculpting, nice.

[MrTimothyBurke]

Herm is such a good guy. Even though they sell seats at DCC they are willing to participate in the DIY scene that is such as part of the Cafe Racer culture. DCC rocks!

Hot damn, I just finished watching the first installment and then DimeCity twitter feed pops up and I see this one available. Perfect.
