Restoring Lloyd and Harry's Mini Bike

[tomtom96]

As crooked and uneven as those "stitching" lines are I'd almost say that is duct tape. The only thing the width is too wide for that.

It wouldn't be too hard to repop that seat as long as you had the base (or frame to recreate the base). If I recall that frame was stretched so I bet the seat is longer and somebody traced the frame shape to make it. That means nothing off the self is gonna be an exact fit and look screen correct.

Didn't even consider the duct tape possibility. You may be right now that I look at it more. Good catch!
The seat that's on the bike is 19" long with the standard 3-hole mounting pattern, so may not be custom.

Size and shape seem to be the same as the seat on the screen shot above.
May just need to invest in a roll of black duct tape! :laugh:.

On that vein, maybe not duct tape, since it was in a movie, maybe gaffer's tape. It's available in wider rolls.

Sorry for lack of updates..
Been busy around here and this kinda got pushed to side.
Anyways, pretty much got it finished up yesterday.
Just gotta mount the rear tail light, license plate, and dial in the carb a bit more.
Other than that, I'd say this hog is ready for the road!
