Takin pics for an update, found some cool things to help make mounting a seat pad to it will be easy.
Sorry about the lighting. Will post better ones later tonight when its finished, about 3 more hours of work left, gluing soon.
I had a breastplate we made for a handicapped dane. Cut a piece off that and applied heat to the center and it curled right up, perfect for a back rest, even has high density, high use foam glued to it.
, cutting some soft foam, even had a piece leftover from the chunk I cut for the banana. Dog was looking longingly at the couch cushion off the couch she ate a year ago.
So, measure and drill for stud placement. Glue it together. Mount studs to seat cushion. And slide the thru the stud holes I will be cutting, and done. Hopefully in three hours will have an update.

150? Good lord. I took 8 shots and used 8 shots. lol
With the color in the paint, I wanted the best angle. I actually found 6 or 7 different walls that I took pics of, and picked the one or two I liked best for the finish post. With my sons camera, it was easy. Sifting thru and picking the right ones was a treat
Those pics are great..bike is radical man! Nice work.
Thanks Chad, I'm loving the new ride.
