Long cafe racer seat?

MrAtom · October 11th, 2014, 08:51 PM

Aight, so I know this isn't really "tech talk" but I figured since it's me asking a question instead of showing off my bike, I'd put it here instead of in the farkles. Alex, you can move it if you want.

Anyhow, I wanna go Cafe, but I want to do it super super cheap. But, I also want to be able to have space for both storage and 2up on my bike's seat. My options so far are:

1: If someone knew of a cheap, long option for this build (unlikely), or

2: build one (Probably the better option)

Now, about building one, some people have told me that wood probably isn't a good idea, but nobody has said why. I think it'll be fine, but I'm not a genius so if anyone's got any input, that'd be appreciated. I don't want to do fiberglass. I HATE fiberglass a lot. It's just satanic and awful and I don't like it.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to your advice.

Update: I found something that might work for me. This dude had the right idea:

And, I'll be using wood. It's what I know.
