$20 Seat
Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2017 10:52 pm
The seat pan on my 800 collapsed due to corrosion.
I removed the cover and made up some templates using gasket material. I had some bits of 18 gauge sheet steel shoved in a corner, marked out, welded up, fitted to the bike, a little bit of trimming with the old angle grinder, total cost up to now, nothing but time. Slapped some red oxide on the pan.
Took it down to a local guy who had done some work for me in the past, 600 Thai Baht to recover, about $20 US.
OK, I wasn't expecting Corbin quality but the finished article was good enough for the old slapper I ride.
