Red: Cafe Seat

Journey of a thousand steps...

It's suddenly bugging me that I don't have the perfect seat on the cafe bike.  Time to get serious about it.  I think first decision is metal forming vs. foam/fiberglass.  As much as I'd prefer to say I hammered out my own cowl, I don't see how I could possibly find enough shop time to do a halfway decent job.  On the other hand, I can take as much time as I need figuring out the foam/fiberglass approach.

But first step is just to start building a visual reference.

Aside from getting the angle and size of the cowl right, the main goal is to preserve the minimalist flow of the rear frame.  It's almost as if you wish you could just throw a pad and seat cover directly onto the frame, add a cowl, and be done with it.
