I have 7mm blue solid core wire by the foot here. PM me if you don't mind crimping your old connectors onto them.

One thing about black dye, it is very difficult to get it properly sealed, I wear blue jeans not two tone black and blue, those cost extra! Nice looking seat and color is good too.

Wouldn't have thought of the old-school cotton style, but those look pretty slick.

what about orange?

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #110 on:** June 22, 2010, 08:43:04 AM »

orange is cool, for me the wire color depends on the colors of the bike. you don't want them to clash or stand out too much. especially if your wires aren't the focal point of the build.

it will all come together when i get my chester the cheetah seat cover

AWESOME!

Now that Cafe has explained to me that replacing the plug wires on a 650 isn't very practical, this thread is making me jealous. Those cables really add a nice accent to everyone's bikes.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #114 on:** June 22, 2010, 10:51:14 AM »

lemme clarify so I don't get a bunch of flack.

the wires on an OEM CB750 are part of the coil and it's more difficult to replace them than it is on a bike with a set of aftermarket coils.

I forgot you had a CB650, it might be do-able, I think they have removable plugs on the coil.

to stir the pot even more, i ordered those NGK splices for like $4 a piece. it makes replacing them a snap...

woo hoo! 500!
sorry, Cafe.
if you delete this post do i go back to 499?

those are very helpful.

also-
I can't delete other peoples posts cause I'm a noob.

The_Crippler · « **Reply #117 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:24:58 PM »

Oh, sorry - I wasn't trying to get the pot stirred at all. It was just a personal lament. If you want me to delete something of mine, just let me know.

75cb550 (kyle) · « **Reply #118 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:25:54 PM »

i thought this thread was about a seat

The_Crippler · « **Reply #119 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:29:42 PM »

Heh...I debated posting the same thing.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #120 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:51:35 PM »

oh yeah!
here's some pics of the seat on the bike, and pretty much done.
I need to get some buttons to hold the ends down, but here it is.

Jordan · « **Reply #121 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:58:16 PM »

Looking good, here's mine pilobond is drying so I have a solid base to shape the foam instead of chasing it all over the bench.

75cb550 (kyle) · « **Reply #122 on:** June 22, 2010, 12:59:59 PM »

i will be attempting something similar in the next week.. looks killer Cafe

The_Crippler · « **Reply #123 on:** June 22, 2010, 01:25:14 PM »

Looking seriously tight, Cafe. I love the mean, agressive stand this ride has, and I think the tan coloring is off-setting the black nicely.

BTW, someone else started a coil thread where we can probably take some of our questions without jacking this one.
