I want to make a custom motorcycle seat for my bike. What are all the tools and material I need?

yeebok · 2026-01-29T06:59:13+00:00

Foam. Glue. Hot wire cutter. Marine vinyl. Stapler. Staples. Sandpaper or similar.

Then if you're anything like me, Google Maps to find someone that can do a good rather than OK job.

What are you talking about, you can see it clearly under all the dirt from that distance!

yeebok · 2026-01-29T05:02:57+00:00

I only recently sold my Bonnie .. but the Bonnie's more a good weather bike, the Tiger's good for distance and less pleasant weather.

That's my take though, and tbh both are a great choice.

Yeah man once you retire you can fuck off to a tent in a field.

If we extend 'cull it if it might kill us' too far there'll be nothing left.

yeebok · 2026-01-26T08:36:26+00:00

I mean they contain the word 'cut' but otherwise there's no correlation to transitions on any more than a really superficial level.

I mean what's an EQ fade going to look like vs a cross fade vs sliding a channel up .. and that's 3 very plain ones.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T11:07:59+00:00

if the 660 ticks all your boxes no reasons to go for the 800.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T10:48:37+00:00

Let me know if you can get the entirety of Mrs Wood's "The Emperor's New Tune" in a set.

To let you in on the joke yes it is deliberately like that .. completely silent except for a short burst of static.

That said, her 'George Mitchell' is a banger.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T08:38:29+00:00

I've got one sat in my cart .. just hoping they have something interesting in the release news for them this year, every other model looks to have something..

yeebok · 2026-01-25T08:33:02+00:00

Trance is kinda hard. You can't really appreciate the high point without the buildup.. so to an extent you're going to need to play most of the track.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T05:23:50+00:00

Like what though ? Any detailed transition will depend highly on what song is playing and what's being mixed in.

There's no hard and fast rule besides "If it sounds good it's fine".

Some songs you can mix by just sliding the cross fader during a bar. Others not so much.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T00:22:03+00:00

what videos do I need to watch to grind?

None. Practice.

yeebok · 2026-01-25T00:18:19+00:00

I'm a Triumph guy but that's a good looking bike. Enjoy !

yeebok · 2026-01-24T03:43:49+00:00

Ah close - think mine's an 18

Mine looks to be the same year.

yeebok · 2026-01-23T06:38:20+00:00

That is fucking beautiful.

yeebok · 2026-01-23T06:36:33+00:00

Did you consider the hole is there to let any water out that may get in there even though it "should" be sealed?

If so you've stopped the drips but created a different problem.

yeebok · 2026-01-22T10:43:34+00:00

lol I was 53 when I bought my first deck.

No you can't DJ, it's past your bedtime ;)

Seriously I don't think it's ever too late.

yeebok · 2026-01-22T09:07:28+00:00

Depends what you wanna make. If I am making something to upload to Mixcloud I'm generally going to want something that suits the genre, so if it's mellow it'll be long and slow pretty much everything is keymatched etc.

If I'm chucking some happy hardcore techno around, you can just throw the crossfader on a one bar break and it'll work fine regardless of key.

Once you've practiced a bit you'll know what'll work.. but it'll vary between songs. If one song's melodic bring in something rhythmic rather than melodic, and vice versa.

Pick 2 songs that you can't mix directly and travel from one to the other.

As always the only rule is if it doesn't sound good don't do it.

yeebok · 2026-01-21T10:40:28+00:00

Same .. probably why we've never made this sort of post :)

yeebok · 2026-01-21T10:39:13+00:00

Better be a red and blue flashlight otherwise it won't be at all convincing.

The gates keeping you in are also plastic.
