Seat Machine!!

Been working hard all week getting seat projects finished.  Finished up this reshap/recover of a Honda CB seat.  Flattened it out with some new foam, and kicked the back up a little.  Has a tuck and roll inlay with a duck cloth/canvas border.  Turned out really cool.

Getting caught up!

Finished up this cafe racer seat today.  Black perf top with solid black vinyl sides.  Came out nice and clean!

Tool Rolls

Got all the ingredients ready!  Now just gotta spend some time in the stabbin cabin!

CB 550 Horween Leather Seat

Got this leather hide in from Horween leather via the Tannery Row.  This stuff is unreal.  Its the thickest material ive ever used for a seat, but it turned out great.  This is going to be a lifetime seat...

NEXT!

Just started a new leather seat tonight for a custom project.  Everytime I sew one of these im tempted to just sew in a rebel flag... haha..

Someday...

Did some upgrading in the shop this weekend.  Documented here:

Vintage Road Racer Cb 354

Ive been dying to find a bike that could be used for a vintage road racing league up in New Hampshire.  Would be a couple hours drive every few weekends.. but would be rad to do. 

My buddy Mike found this thing cheap and we worked it out.  No paperwork, so it is perfect for a race bike.  I know there is a cb350 class, and there might even be a 4cylinder class for this engine size.

Either way im excited to tear into this thing.  Its a little rusty and has some broken bits, but most of this crap will be stripped or rebuilt.  Now i need leathers and a racing license...

CB 360 Cafe Racer

Here is a shot of the tail section for the cb 360.  Just need to layer on some clear and it will be ready to bolt up.  Should get the front disc installed tonight, and get this cleared and on tomorrow.  Finally got internets at the shop so i can actually update this blog regularly...

Honda Cb 360 Cafe

Started to finally get my tail section for the Honda cb cafe project painted.  Did a quick skim coat and sanded the hell out of it.  Ready for a few coats of filler primer and some more heavy sanding... should turn out cool.  Gotta get some paint mixed tomorrow and get it painted this weekend... exciting...
