Ts185 seat repair

[monsterpitbike96]

Well I went riding on the weekend was good and fun time but as I looked at my bike as we all do it looked ugly the tape seat so I decided to do something about it here the bike with the seat

This is when I got the bike about 2 years ago

I just had to fix it

I'm surprised at the condition on the seat pan it's almost perfect

Ok so the plan is to make the peice flattened out and get some spray glue and some foam and glue a couple of layers of foam and shape it and reupholster it the carbon fibre material for some grip

That's the plan haven found decent foam yet hopefully tomorrow..


Cheers Joel!!

There is Metal taps on the metal seat pan I'm thinking if using pop rivets with big washers to get a better hole what do you guys think about pop rivets with washers

Alright so I made a start couldn't find and decent foam so I bought these

Than for the seat I carved it down

Used my mums tools

So I used spray glue, glued the foam on and waited for it to dry

Used tape and just let it dry over night

Than I will be using that knife thing and an orbital sander will hae pics up after work


Cheers Joel!!
