Wow you did it and it looks awesome! :) Its fun stuff to work with and now you know you can do it, its now opened up loads of other things you can do with it :) Thank you for the kind words and shout out Steve 👍☺️
Hell yeah! Came out awesome. It fits that tank opening perfectly. I too have been inspired by Dan. I’m at the same point now. Next step is gluing and shaping the foam. Never used fiberglass before but it was much easier than I feared. Had so much fun that I decided to make two seat pans. One with a rear cowl (also inspired by Dan). And one completely flat so I could fit the girlfriend if she wants to go for a ride.
Great job my friend! Hard to believe that was your first time making a fiberglass seat! Very well done! I watch Dan's channel also you guys keep me motivated!
Very good video!Interesting to see how you build your own seat!I want to see the video on how to find/buy barnfind motorcycles........ Thanx Steve for yet an real good video again!
Hi, great job Steve. Lovely shape. I worked with these stuff on boats before and it's good fun. Watch the dust of it. it's looking good. PS: I see you have new gloves... haha Thanks for the video, Gus
xTHATSFIVEx lol I haven’t been lazy, actually did a vid last week making my new work bench, but it looked as exciting as putting ikea furniture together.... then I thought I’d have a good vid of the new project..... 😭
Definitely interested in a "what to look for and what to walk away from" type video. I'm currently looking for my first project bike and it's getting harder and harder to listen to my gut when it tells me that dirt cheap bike on craigslist is probably way more trouble than it's worth.
Did this with mine recently. Im now on 2.0 version though 😅 if you make another seat pan, wax the cling film first as it makes it come off super clean 👌 keep up the good work man
Nice Job! I think i'm gonna try to make my own seat too. Dan is also the reason too.haha You should post your walk away videos. I think it would be interesting. This is Matt from Louisiana
Charles Burg I think they’re awesome. Look great and tons of adjustment. I did get the longer ones so if you want to stay stock-ish go for the slightly shorter ones
Yes! Please post the footage! I am looking at a ‘75 CB360 in multiple boxes! The initial investment is low but I am hesitant. Come with title and they say it’s all there. Thoughts? I’m loving this series. Thank you for it!
jfergmma really depends on the bike and the cca it needs to pull. I’ve had a 4 cell on a shadow 1100 and it started easily. Viragos on the other hand need a ton of amps.
david barranco yes, it’s an electronic flasher relay. Works on 6v, leds, regular bulbs etc. Has the annoying side effect of beeping when on (much like what you hear on e-scooters) but a small piece of black tape can tone it down, unless you need the reminder.... got em on eBay, couple of bucks if I remember.
You can buy a kit. it's basically sheets of fibreglass that you cut to size, and a resin and hardener, that when you combine will slowly start to cure and harden. really pretty straight forward!
I would LOVE to hear your opinions on what not to buy. I'm currently looking for a project bike, sadly in my country there's slim pickings, and most of what you find for cheap is either 3rd of the parts missing bike (hence my specific interest in that topic) or just real shit bikes (Chinese copies or Czechoslovakian "communist" crap 2 stroke bikes).

Cafe Racer Garage I just kept saying to myself “be the dan, be the dan.....” credit where credit is due. You literally taught me how to do this! 🍻

@@jamiewebber8091 That is so cool James, Im so happy Steves and my videos and helpful, the 2 seats is a great idea :)

The electrics tray and seat pan came out killer! Looks good man nice work! Any vid you post ill watch. ✌
Very clean looking seatpan 👍I like how organized the electrics tray is
Thumbs up on this, thank you. Yes, I’d be interested in “when you walk away” footage, please. Les in UK
I guess I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Benton Hudson lately I have been using Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Benton Hudson I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
Very good video!Interesting to see how you build your own seat!I want to see the video on how to find/buy barnfind motorcycles........ Thanx Steve for yet an real good video again!
Nice work man! and yeah, Dan's channel is great. You guys both inspire me!

They'll be torn to shreds soon enough 😆. Cheers Gus
Good video. Nobody show me how to do this.
It's about time we got another video Steve
xTHATSFIVEx lol I haven’t been lazy, actually did a vid last week making my new work bench, but it looked as exciting as putting ikea furniture together.... then I thought I’d have a good vid of the new project..... 😭
Combustion Junction post everything! Post it all! Seriously though, great job on the fibreglass 👌🏻 can't wait for the next one
Those foam pieces are intended to isolate the battery from any vibration from the bike. The vibration will shorten the life of the battery.
good job

I saw yours 👍 you did mention that.... Yes, a bit of wax would've helped😳. Moving forward will definitely use some. Cheers!

Maddock82 cheers Matt! Definitely worth the effort to make one 👍
Hey men. Can i ask what is that chemical that you varnished over your fiber matt? Thanks such a great help for me doing my diy seat
[6:01] What liquid is that you use to make the fibreglass freeze? I want to try this
I’m looking at getting those same all black shocks for my own build. How do they look and feel in person?
Well done on the seat pan!
Charles Burg I think they’re awesome. Look great and tons of adjustment. I did get the longer ones so if you want to stay stock-ish go for the slightly shorter ones
What fiberglass kit did you use? I know homedepot and autoparts stores sell it, but perhaps there is a better or cheaper option online?
Travis Johnson I bought the resin and fiberglass separately. But yes, at my local flaps.
Yer post the the footage please, be interesting to see why you decided against buying it.
Yes! Please post the footage!

I’m loving this series. Thank you for it!
I would like to see your footage about why you chose to walk away from the deal.
Does that 4cell battery work okay with electric start? I have one on my kickstart only cl450 and it's good but wasn't sure about using the starter...
jfergmma really depends on the bike and the cca it needs to pull. I’ve had a 4 cell on a shadow 1100 and it started easily. Viragos on the other hand need a ton of amps.
Is the blue round piece for LED's...relay? If so where did you get it? I'm trying to upgrade my '74 cb360 to LED's. Thnx
david barranco yes, it’s an electronic flasher relay.

I have the exact same relay on the GS, was of ebay too, wasnt aware that there where suitable for LED too :)
can i ask the ingredients for making fiber glass seat?
