When I did something similar to my old bike a few years ago. I used a cut-up foam camping mat. I would spray it with contact adhesive on both sides and let it dry completely, then bring both surfaces together, and it would instantly stick to each other. So, it didn't need clamping. Great video. I liked the use of cling film to start with and using fibreglass cloth. Great video!

Can’t wait for part 2

[@savinggracechurch4112]

Brilliant!!!

[@stusappart4816]

Top tip... Use contact adhesive, saves on all that tape and jeans

[@stinustarpmller211]

Cool video :) why didn’t you “just” use more layers of the “mat” like the first layer?

[@rafaelmigueldelrosario8672]

what glue did you use to stick the foam on the fiberglass pan?

[@donovanswift5010]

I used spray glue, super 77

[@asadabdulqaabir4006]

It seems he used maple syrup 😂

@@asadabdulqaabir4006 Going to be a crunchy seat as that glue breaks down 😂

[@luckyPiston]

He used enough fiberglass the build 3 seats , half of it went to waste and why didnt he alternate roving mat roving mat? coulda done a 2 unit lay-up. You should try and do your lay-up so that you do your trim halfway through the kick , that way everything is like slicing bread instead of having to saw rock hard resin !

Your seat can accommodate 3 people and is “banana” shaped, cafe racer seat is straight and short (rider only) with a rear hump, your seat looks good, don’t take me wrong, just other style 👍🏻

[@alexissumile250]

what foam ?

[@MotorcycleRestorationChannel]

It’s actually carpeting foam that you can get at Home Depot

[@kkennedy5151]

It's called rebond foam my last seat I use a yoga Matt from Wal-Mart the thick one
