Cafe Racer Seat Construction – Part 13

It’s taken roughly 4 months – but the fibreglass cafe racer seat is done.

The seat popped out of the mold fairly easily.  Probably about 5 minutes of effort.  I then gave the edge a rough trim up with the angle grinder and washed off any PVA release agent.  I’ll give it a final trim with a dremel once we work out how to fit the seat to the bike.

Over all, I’m wrapt with the result.  No serious air bubbles, just a few rough spots that will sand up easily. The seat seems plenty strong enough.  I might give it an official 75kg load rating. 🙂
