Budget Goldwing Seat build

Phil docked the rear fender on the Goldwing and started a new seat to replace the god awful stock "couch".
Keeping to a budget, Phil layered 1/2 inch carpet padding and started shaping it with a knife and the sander.

The shop is blessed to have an expert seamstress just a couple steps away, she is also the person that feeds us and keeps us out of jail!!  Thanks Jenny!!

Made a template out of parchment paper and created 3 pieces to sew together.  Sewed batting under the pleats to give them a little shape in the middle.



Phil has about 30 bucks in this seat to include the fiberglass, pad and vinyl.  Looks pretty good for his first time.
