First Attempt at a Cafe Seat

I wanted to build a cafe seat for the RD250. I wanted the tail end of the seat to have similar lines to the tank currently on the bike so I purchased an old rusty tank from an RD200.


Chopped it up and narrowed it...


Took a sheet of 18 gauge steel and formed it on a friends break...


And mudered the welds with too much current. Oh well, a lot of bondo got it all straightened out.

Next I need to paint and mount it. I purchased some rigid foam to upholster and stick on the top. It will be a nice looking addition when completed.
