No worries, I am sure you will get nominated again.

At first, when I saw the first picture, I thought your new project was Elvis related, lol.

Now I have a question.  There is a bump in the middle towards the back of the seat you are making.  Why did you put a bump there?  From what I have learned and felt with my own bum, is that prolly should not be there.  In fact, it should go the other way.

Here is why I say that.  What makes a seat more comfortable is making a relief for your spine.  In turn, this distributes the weight more to your butt bones and the natural padding in between (if you are one fortunate to have any). lol.  I lack in that department.

I had my VR seat modded like this a found a massive increase in total riding time.  From maybe an hour to an easy 8+ hours.

Just curious.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

wedgie maker.  :D  actually i'm making this seat to make a mold then cast it in carbon fiber. i put it in for reinforcement, i don't want the clear resin spider webing from flexing. i may change it/ make it smaller. it's onlt 5/8", i was planning on a 1" seat pad. it does look rather large in the pic. maybe i'll sit on it before making the mold. i need to double cheak my clearances anyway.

I started laughing when I noticed the hook hanging on the fishes mouth in the background ...

I fished an entire day with that Budweiser Beer Can Lure two years ago in Canada just to say that I caught something with it.  I figured if anything would piss a Canadian Pike off, the Budweiser can would  ;D

The only thing I caught was flak from my friends and some rocks  :'(  Thats what I get for being stubborn  ::)
