GS550 Cafe Racer Build - Episode 11 - Making a Carbon Fiber Seat Pan

Our local society member, Mike Mitchum shows us how he built his cafe racer custom seat for his build that you likely saw at Garage Brewed Motorcycle Show or you may see next month at the The Handbuilt Motorcycle Show. It shows the amount of time, labor and money he spent to get it right. Certainly worth a watch if you are considering one yourself!

In this video, I create a carbon fiber seat pan from scratch. Hopefully, this gives an idea of what the process looks like for someone fabricating parts at h...

As stores and restaurants and businesses start reopening again, it will become super vital that we all do these things to protect our health. If we can keep slowing the spread of COVID-19 even while we reopen, we will be able to stay open. Here is the best link I have found with simple tips and CDC approved information on how to keep yourself and others well! Www.Scientology.org/staywell

Has torn ligaments and tendons in his left knee, after his MRI on knee. Will have to get a special brace before he can get up out of bed. Waiting on orthopedic doctor to read results of MRI. Also, femur is healing fine. Pain level is down and tolerated with meds that are given.
Great ride today. Thank you for putting this together.
Buying a motorcycle from this shop has been a wonderful experience! Tim Burke is such a pleasure to work with and has gone above and beyond to make sure my vintage Honda is street ready. Looking forward to continued support of his store!!
Piston Society totally hooked me and Michael Roose up with bad ass Comm’s! Tim even sent me an unbiased product review with Cardo vs Sena which helped in the decision bug time ... Cardo PackTalk Slim with mesh tech and JBL sound won hands down ... 100% VOX (no more fumbling for buttons, Cardo VOX works very much like Siri) Once I get the gear installed and tested I’ll come back and let you all know how easy it was to install (Rob at the shop offered to install it) and how well it works on the road - taking my daughter for a long ride this weekend so we’ll be chatting up a storm 🤣

I need to get my Honda metropolitan serviced and get a back rack installed. It’s only 50cc’s and I’m in Covington. Does anybody have any recommendations? It’s fairly new just over 1000 miles I just need to get it ready for the season. Thank you so much in advance!
