XS650 Addict
Hey guys, need some suggestions, I can kinda see the point at which I'll have the parts that are currently scattered all over the house turning back into a functional motorcycle. With that, though, comes a new mission. I'm about an inch shorter than I was 25 years ago. Way back when, my '82 fit me perfectly. The '83 was a tiny bit taller. Thinking I may need to sculpt the seat and give myself a little more reach. I don't want to screw up the OEM seat. Haven't done auto upholstery in a few decades but we still have industrial sewing machines. I can make a new leather seat cover. Not sure the best way to go about reshaping though. An electric carving knife, maybe? And are all the 650 seats interchangeable? Anyone done a project like this?
