That is GREAT to hear from a bigger channel!!!! I am glad you got some info from my vids. I will check out your videos this weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
Me too! Did my videos give enough info on how we did ours? I always wonder if I blast through some stuff to fast or if I forget to mention stuff. Thanks again!
This is my favorite video in this series. Thanks again for helping me fix my seat! It is almost to nice for the bike now. I also checked it is a Honda not a Yamaha.
Turned out great! I'll be doing mine in the next week or two. I had already ordered some fabric spike strips online, but I like the idea of using the carpet strips. Looks like it makes things easier.
I did end up using them, since I aready had them in-hand and I basically just had to cut them to length with a pair of tin snips. I didn't feel like trying to round up my rivet gun and stuff, plus, I wasn't sure how well it would work. The metal strips are pretty thin and softer than those strips you're using. I ended up using JB Weld and it worked great. After everything was set up, I gave the whole underside a coat of black paint. The strips worked great. Seat turned out really nice. My old seat didn't come with a cover or any hardware and someone had cut off the original clamps (or teeth or whatever had been there). Luckily, my new cover came with a strap and buckles. I just had to go to the hardware store and round up a couple 10mm bolts. I found stainless, large phillip head screws that fit perfectly and they look great. Seat is mounted and on the bike, but I'll need to add the chrome trim when I get time. Thanks for all the tips, man! It's like you made this video just for me lol!
Hello Steve. The fabric foam I use can be found by searching for "Pellon Flex Foam Sew-in Fabric". I is available online or at Walmart or Michaels or hobby Lobby. the blue camp mat is from Walmart. You can find it by searching for "Ozark trail Closed Cell Camping Mat". I hope that helps!
What a great series really enjoyed it and the results you achieved are amazing you have given me plenty of tips for when I tackle my DRZ plank of wood loosely described as a seat lol.
Here are the earlier videos of the seat restoration if you missed those and want to catch up on the fun! th-cam.com/video/LDFhudifQL4/w-d-xo.html
Great Tips! Im working on the same seat now. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, can't wait to see it.
Honda XL600R. The R stands for Rek. 🤣🤣🤣
Wouldn't it be a XL600W? All well, we aren't very smart. 😀
"I kinda wonder what Billy Ocean's up to these days.". HAHAHA
Or Tina Turner for that matter. That was a pretty funny day. 🤣🤣
You can call it a seat cleat?
HA, I like it!!
Fantastic video series! I definitely got some great ideas. Thanks so much!

@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS keep up the great work. Good stuff!
@@KeepOnWrenching Will do. Thanks again!
Really nice, hope my 350seat will look same after refurbishing
Me too! Did my videos give enough info on how we did ours? I always wonder if I blast through some stuff to fast or if I forget to mention stuff. Thanks again!
@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS to me it looked explained ok😊
Followed all your steps to recover a CB350 seat (except for the stenciling). The results were amazing. Thanks!!!
Hey! That is great news! Made my day to hear it turned out great! What year is your bike? I am thinking about getting a CB in the future.

Bring a Yamaha the next time you are in this part of the country. I have a lot of Honda stickers left over!
Cool.
Tip: next time you pull a stencil or masking off, always use a hairdryer to warm it.; less chance of paint pulling off.
Excellent. Thanks for the tip!!!

Hey Paul. What kind of fabric strips did you order? I'm always looking for new ideas and wondering what you were using. Thanks sir!

Great job i have a 1971 sl350 .i need a good seat cover, where do you get one
Hey John, I usually get my covers off of ebay. I just searched for "1971 sl350" seat cover and it looks like there are a lot of sellers out there.
man i liked the tac strip idea. should work on automotive custom interior also.
Glad you liked it. I like them because it gives you a lot of teeth to fine tune the cover on. Thanks for commenting!
"You're doing it wrong!" I lol'd
That was a pretty fun night 😁😁
