Working on seat idea

[Lucky 1]

I made a shape from wood today for a seat base.
I will add 3.5 inches of foam.

I want it to sort of like this.

The top of the seat needs to be 20 inches above the foot pegs so that I am very comfortable.
Mock up base wood.

Thats gonna look great Lucky! I even think the wood alone looks cool, might be an interesting idea to fully carve a seat (mounted like yours with the springs under it) out of a single piece of cherry or other nice wood. Wouldent be a touring bike, but would look flash around town!

I'm with Butcher,a bare wooden seat would look killer! But I'm not sure if it would be comfy enough with just the springs. Either way I think it's a cool idea. I'm anxious to see how this all turns out!

I know it is a little late, but I have a seat off a 2010 H.D. Nightster that has a shape you may be interested in. Not being a salesman here as I'd like to keep it, just saying I could measure it up any dimension you need so you could probably find a take-off dirt cheap. Most Harley guys ditch the stock seat and exhaust soon after buying, so the chances of finding one next to nothing are good.
 Mine looks just like this...

I love the look. Only thing I'd be scared of is the seat splitting as you ride, causing a crash. Looks like 2 slices of wood were glued together.

man you do some nice looking work.

It is all one piece of wood.

I meant that it looks like plywood, which the lumber company glues together. I don't think its from a single piece of tree.

If it is, then its a heck of a lot stronger. Otherwise, it might split due to the forces as-is.
