anybody know...or have a link to, the type of foam used to sculpt a custom seat for a cafe tail?
I really need to do the last few touches on the project bike..get it out rolling this season.

ive used the foam from michaes that they but the fake plants in works great for carving out a cafe seat and jsut tape it up and do ur fiberglass. it works good and its cheep. comes it different sizes.

Whoops; I guess I misread. You want to sculpt, not sit on it!

well..what I meant was the foam that gets used as the padding under the seat cover..ie making a butt pad to sit on...suppose the original question was a bit vague.LOL

bcware..your link is the right idea...I'll look up a local upholsterer and see what they can do the job for.

what you want is closed cell foam. it doesn't soak in water

i used a yoga mat actually. just put 3 or 4 layers and wrap it with some vinyl its pretty legit!

I carved down the original seat foam to fit my cafe seat and recovered it with a custom made cover. It looks good and feels good on the butt.
