All that we've seen for the first time in 2008, the Meeting of Socialiste and the Communist -7 SCARI-Braşov, and although I have not breathed a Word then NEITHER, and here we are again!
It started like this: "I need a solo tractor seat for an MT11"
Tractor seat. Hahaa!
A million $ dude, with large enciclopedic knowledge (I will stay more besides him, I'm sure that I will learn plenty of moto history).
the saddle Pan is hand-crafted, from sheet metal formed by hand beating, the T frame that will ensure preservation of form and attach to the frame, executed from strips made of steel 30x5,5 mm and TIG welding (I love'n it!).
Thanks for trusting me, and as I always, I hope to not disappoint.

  2. thank's Chris!
    1.5 mm steel sheet. the pan shape was formed cold manual hammered and curved quite well(helps a lot). Myself I trying to intentionally deformed whit my 97 kg fat ass, however it kept well. with the T frame I insisted to reinforce the area where the curves are larger, to hold it in place.....if will be the case.
