Well I finished another project for the 2015 FJR steamship. I needed another solution for the wife for her comfort. Yeh, she's spoiled.
Truth is this keeps me from buying a stratoliner gold wing. Any way my yankee frugleness kicked in and this was all made from stuff I have around. Stainless square tube and some stainless sheet stock. The cover came off the original seats that I got back from Russell after they made my RDL. An Upholster I am not. I may make another attempt come this winter doing a better job later. For now it will have to do. Now for the pic's cause if you don't see proof it never happened.
Welded the tubing to the sheet

The other back side when mounted to the bike
I used 3/4 pressure treated plywood that I had hanging around and thinned it down a little to about 680 thick. I had some foam I pulled out of some aluminum travel cases from work that they were going to throw out. Nice dense stuff. The foam got glued to the wood with waterproof glue. Then I use the seat cover to wrap around it then stapled it. That's where I could have done a better job and may try again later.
The next pic's are of it mounted on the bike with and without the V47 Givi case.
Now it's on to the next project. Any guesses?
