Seat

I need a seat and was considering one of those Bates type nock offs. I see the Haifley bros do good ones, also Bear parts. Theyre all a bit pricey tho, A consultation with Baybutt resuted in me attempting to make one.
Seems it isn't that hard ha ha.
Need a welder now as I have no access to a welder. Also upholstery
Maybe if I can find a second hand seat that would be easier after all. Anyone got a small solo seat for sale? (not lycett type, more bates'y)
Also, can anyone do welding on the bike? Fuel tank, seat bracket etc? I did all the engine and mechanic stuff, that's the easy bit. Now I am a bit stumped having no welding/fabricating gear.

    I think it's a one-man band, stuff looks okay though,.I think a Bates type seat is £130 ish.

    I've got a TIG set-up which I'm reasonably good with; trouble is it's not portable so anything you wanted welding would need to be very carefully marked for position. Seat would probably be doable, tank is a different matter but I do have access to silver soldering which might be more suitable depending on what wants doing.
