ep.3 / p3. kott motorcycles "how to build a cafe seat" 

Excuse me? Are you serious? This guy is an Artisan. You do understand the term, I trust?. He knows exactly what hes doing and considers the clients needs. The bike is an already modified XS1100. He puts so much thought and effort into this project, that I would gladly leave my bike with him and say "do what you want". Wonderful work. Thank you.

Watching these videos never gets old and I learn something new every time thank you for making these they are a great help.

Very good video. I'm inspired to make my own cafe racer seat now You're an artist.

Thanks man, I really only saw Jesse James do some hammering on the original Motorcycle Mania. I said, I can do that.. and started pounding. Got some hammeres and a bag, pounded somemore and it was done. If I had to do it again I'd use a size thinner steel or aluminum. Can't weld AL right now though..

Thanks for the video! I'm in South Africa, and don't want to have to import a ready made seat. I'm definitely trying you technique! Thing is I only have a old school welder, but hey!

thanks for posting how to...nice job on seat....i'm going to try to make a seat to but i;m using fibergass, that metal seat looks pretty strong i didnt think of using metal maybe next time..

seen ur vids before u did a sweet job for hand forming steel its 1 thing to cut and weld something its another to hand form sheet steel that shit scares me and im a welder by trade

man that is awesome i need a seat for my 77 r100/7 got some bars on there today i might go ahead and try to make one unless you guys sell them haha

keep on sharing please...

great vid..learned a lot..thanks...

uun mantap juo go

yer id like to get my mig set up to do some alloy itd be nice to not be restricted to steel

Do you sell seats? I have a 75cb750 cafe. I liked your homemade seat better than mine but don't have the equipment to do it your way.

very cool

how do you shape the sheet metal???

What gauge sheet metal is that?

I see a lot of body filler in that seats future LOL

Trust?....Not one tattoo........how I´m supposed to trust that guy? :)

how to shape rods ,and sheets ,u dont show most important things...

is that just a flux-core welder?

Super!

I need tools

I like your vids. I'm a pretty decent fabricator and it was kinda hard to follow what you were doing. Check out my shitty vids to see how I make mine flow. The newer ones are best starting at about episode 3 or 4. 7 is the best.,. I made my set up completely different but with a similar outcome..

Did anybody told you that arc welding is bad for your skin and bones, etc?, if I want to see muscle man I better watcha body builders channel
