So he posted it on the interwebs? Maybe you oughta OPEN the door and let some of those fumes out


Im very much looking forward to seeing this seat.You got me curious

[Daddyman]

Today was a cool day, remember the story about how I met the original owner of my 750?  Well he called me up last week and invited us to go for a ride in his Airplane this weekend.  I quickly accepted the invite and he flew down to our airport and gave the girls and I a ride.  His plane is a two seater so we had to take turns.  It was a blast!  The plane weighs only 680lbs and has a 100hp engine I couldn't believe how responsive it was, it was really a great experience.  Here are some pics.

Our home from the air


I had to take this pic, you all have seen wing nuts.....Well these actually where WING NUTS!!

[shinyribs]

Haha. Good point, Tools!

[Daddyman]

I don't know why they look brown??  From the ground they are yellow and gold.  My trees are like twice as tall as my neighbors maby that's why they are changing so fast.  

[Half-Caf]

It's crazy to think that plane only weighs 680 lbs. Especially considering a cb 750 weighs about 540 lbs!

[shinyribs]

I was thinking the exact same thing.More than enough reason for me to stay out of one

[TOOLS1]

I wonder if Honda makes a plane? I think Kawasaki made planes. Zeros to be exact.

Haha, laughed out loud in a meeting with that one!

[shinyribs]

What? I don't get it?What's so funny...?Whaddi say

[Daddyman]

Well i started in on the seat, some of ya wanted to see how I made the first seat so I took pics of this one as I went.  Its the same process I used before just longer, for 2 up riding.

Started with this


Made my marks


Cut it with a 4 1/2" cutting disk on a grinder


After sliding the pieces together I tack welded a support bar under the piece I had to shape so it would stay the same width when I form the top



After welding in the support I cut reliefs in the pan


Then I beat it with a hammer over my anvil untill it matched the shape of the front pan piece and tacked it together.  


Had to cut some more reliefs in the side of the pan to get the rear cowl straight
and before


This is why I got time to work on the bike, Cant install glass in the snow!


Ill post more pics when I get some more done on it.

[Piute]
