cafe racer seat

hi everybody !

i have an xj 550r 1982 that i am slowly putting back to life.

carb are done ,derust the tank ,synch the carb. new seal,new gauge,handlebar,rear brake,new turn signals ect ect ect .


i am watching for a cafe racer tail-seat at legendary motorcycle

should i go with fiber glass or abs
is abs strong enough??.can i cut fiberglass easilly without any damage

can you share your experience with me if you went that route

i am also having a hard time to decide between the PHAT TAIL SEAT and the BUG EYE TAIL SEAT

thanks a lot

 

Heres a pic of my bike with a phat tail style rear end if that helps? Its an old pic from when I bought it and the bike looks different now but its all I have on this device.

 

so i decided to make my onw cafe racer seat in metal
i did all the template today and gonna go to the shop to cut it .

should be nice and solid
i bought i powder today but i cant decided if i am gonna go flat texture black or sand it to bare metal and clear it .

will decide tomorrow


good night
