I'm just finishing up a plug for a cafe seat for one of my xs's and will be ordering up gel coat mold release all that good stuff and I might make a few extra if anyone needs one.I was also going to make a couple different plug designs. I asked for peoples feedback but no one bothered,so I think I'm going to make a thruxton and maybe a ducati.I would encourage everyone to make their own custom design cafe seats.you can always use a square mold and a can of spray foam insulation to make a cheap foam block $5!!!

I'd be interested in a seat for a 1981 xs650 Special, let me know what your plans are as far as design. Email me at cycleryder02 @ aol.com.

How comfortable is it as a seat? Are you saying to shape the spray foam then cover it and thats it? I don't know much about fabricating seats but would like to give it a shot.

No you dont want to use it as a seat. Use it just to make plugs or add shape to your seat pan

Cafe Seats for A. 70-72, B. 78-79 Specials C. 80-84 Specials are moving. Our supplier builds for bike makers and told us today they were building permanant molds & fixtures for the XS seats since we are ordering so many ( previous lot was more hand made ) and hope to be able to get them done sooner. The stock XS1 seat ( batch 2 ) is done and will be shipped next week ( ocean). No way we can push these guys as bike makers get priority but they are working on them.
