Here's what I did for the seat.

Cut 8" from the middle of the seat and plastic welded the 2 parts.


Re-cover with 1/4 foam


Re-cover with vinyl


Cost: around $20

You are good at everything. Looks great.
I wanted to get as low as possible. And be held in place on the turbo bike. It's not going to be for corners much. I would hate to grab a handful of throttle coming out of a corner. And have the boost come up.
Yours looks perfect for moving around on.
You have it all figured out  
Thanks for sharing with us

This build has really gone places.

Thanks for all your comments guys.

There's many small things to do and then, wait for the snow to melt. But with the actual situation with the Covid-19, I don't think I will be able to go to the inspection to get the licence plate before a while. Lots of business are closed right now.

I found nice flashers in my old stock. It come from a Suzuki DRZ400. I 3D printed some smalls adaptors because the flashers bolts are very small for the holes in the flashers supports. I think it work fine with the look of the bike.

Today I did the first small test ride just in our street (small). Since I don't have licence plate, I don't want to take chance to get caught.

The bike is idling very well. When I accelarate very slowly, it run fine. But when I accelerate a little faster, the engine have some missing. Tomorrow I will look at the spark plugs to see the color. But I didn't rode it a lot because of that missing on acceleration. Maybe the main jets are not the right size, 112.5 with pod filters and stock exhaust.

I have lots of parts, but everything is in plastic cases. For example, I took the worst subframe, side covers and seat to cut and I keeped the best one in case I want to go back to stock backend. The engine is completely apart, so I have many spare parts.

cool i understand

As mentionned in another specific thread, I replaced the emulsion tubes with the old ones and the bike is running very nicely now. Now I have to wait for the Covid-19 to pass (hoping to live trough it  ) so that I can have the bike inspected so I can register it and be able to ride on the road.

I finally passed the inspection and whent to the Transport office to officialy put the FJ on the road. With that Covid-19, it was not easy. At first it was closed and after that I had to take appointment at both places. For the inspection it was easy but for the Transport office, in my city, there was nothing avalaible before the end of the month. I finally found a place for the day after the inspection but in another city.

The bike is running very good, I really like it. There's only one small thing to repair. I need to replace the neutral switch o'ring and the front gear shaft oil seal, they are leaking a little bit. I already ordered the
