Picture: Two choices of pillion seat
I have spent this rare rainy Kansas day building a pillion seat to mount on the luggage rack. Classic Motorworks wants $60 for this seat and I just can't see spending that much. I used some 5/16" plywood that I had on hand and found a 1/2" sleeping bag pad at Walmart to use for the cushion. I cut three pieces of the pad to fit the plywood and spray glued it all together. Also drilled holes in the pads to relieve some of the density. Don't know if it helped but those pads are pretty hard. The vinyl came from a sewing place (now that is a topic for another blog). My upholstery job shows a lack of skill but I don't plan on using it that much. Total investment, including brackets, was about $25 and I still have half a can of glue.
The Wildcat stadium seat was sort of a joke but I think Sue would have been happy with it if I could have figured out how to mount it.
