Was someone making a pattern part in Britain and selling on e bay. I tried to get in touch with them through an old listing but no luck, don't think there was enough demand to sell many. Good luck , seem to be like hens teeth!

A bit of internet research on fiber glassing and you'll soon know how, once you've made the mold its a piece of cake. There is a 'how to' in old school on badweb somewhere, it was made without a mold by covering the rear of the seat in gaffer tape and glassing over, finishing off with filler to get the smooth surface.

Another option could be to make a gel seat and recover in marine vinyl incorporating white for the rear seat pad leaving it still able to take a pillion.....

No-one has emailed me, but Yes, I had a form made, I only did a small run, selling them all, knowing demand would be limited, might be able to get another run together if enough interest.
