As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

pan seat

I would just make one out of fiberglass and then used closed cell foam, definitely way cheaper and will work totally fine. for my build I'm mounting the seatpan to the frame using vinyl coated pipe clamps (no drilling through the frame).
 
i bought a cheap seat and now starting to dislike the idea. i need to patch the two hilea i made now but i am tool under funded no one in my house uses tools but me. but could goy go into setail on how to make one. also why you choose this style and maybe a few pointers
 
I haven't done it yet, but it seems simple enough.

Here's a pictorial guide:

Here is the clamps I found which I will be using for mounting. I will drill corresponding holes into the seat pan, and put bolts through the top of the pan which will go through the clamps. Once I'm sure they fit correctly, I'll fiberglass overtop of the bolts to secure them in. Then, in order to remove the seat I will just remove a bolt from the underside of the clamps.

There's a few ways you can do that, just my idea.

Once you have the pan made, you just shape your seat by gluing and cutting layers of foam. Bring a drawing to an upholstery guy, have them make it out of leather or vinyl and staple to the bottom of the pan. Voila!
 
sweet yeah it doea look to hard and i like the pipe clamp idea BUT i have already drilled holes now i feel dumb and gonna have to fill them in somehow
 
I glassed in some T-nuts, usually meant for wood, on a seat pan. Then tiny 1/2inch bolts from the bike side secure the seat in place. Just put a bolt in before laying the glass on top to keep the resin from filling the threads.
