Well done how does it feel? I've got a extra seat I've been getting ready for a "cafe style" look and was thinking of using memory foam

Thanks, it feels pretty comfortable. My butt sinks right into the seat, I'm still getting used to it after a couple days of riding. The memory foam I used compresses a lot under my weight, making the seat cover stretch so I hope it doesn't cause cracking or wear marks. I'll just have to keep up on the leather conditioner to keep it supple/flexible . A more dense memory foam might not compress as much, people like using gel pads too.

I have a spare seat plastic base I'm going to make a full custom seat when I get the time. It will probably be a low profile cafe style or something along those lines.

Thanks man, kinda sad I didn't get a chance to ride this ch80 spree last summer. It's kinda hard when you have a higher powered nh125 spree in the stable. :lol:

Yeah, most of the welding is on page 3 but I didn't show everything.

On this swap I used part of the elite 80 frame to mount the engine, mostly because of the mount location was a lot higher than a stock spree engine.
