I Like This - Especially the Seat

[Kevin B]

Check out this bike. Anyone know what seat it is?

I can not see a bike. LOOKIT THE PORSCHE! UNHOLY MONSTRRR CAR!!!!
I would guess everything in that garage is pretty custom

Recaro?

I would say it’s a custom unit. It’s too small to have come from a motorcycle, unless it was reworked. My immediate guess is that someone is a composite bodyworks builder. I could post an “all you have to do is...” sentence, but that would absolutely SPOIL the beauty contained in this photo.

I found it by searching "cafe racer bicycle." There are a couple more that came up, a Brumos Porsche tribute and a Gulf (Steve McQueen) tribute that I have seen on here before.

I would definitely say custom as a motorcycle seat is considerably wider. It would be much easier to make a new piece than try to rework an existing piece. They did a superb job.

Thanks for the insight. The seat is beyond my skill level but I sure appreciate it.

It wouldn’t be as hard as it looks. You could buy a cafe seat from Amazon, work up all of how to adapt it, then make a plug and build it yourself. It would take patience, but it could be done.

I wanna see under the hood of the Porsche... Methinks someone got parts from Druidia

That’s a 935. I remember one or two racing here in the 80’s. 900hp and under a tonne

You could start with a generic cafe seat for a motorcycle and chop it down and narrow it. They also make cafe seats for Groms that are way small.

Personally I'd just get some floral foam and start shaping. Then it's just fiberglass, resin, Bondo, and dust

I've made a few custom tails that way with good results. The limit is your imagination

Indeed it is. Notable for the slant nose as opposed to the usual headlight lumps. Wanna scare the kids in the neighborhood with their cute little v8s?

IIRC, there is a 935 power plant in this Poor Man's Porsche.

I saw an in car video of Derek Bell driving A 935. It looked like a handful even with his capable hands in control.

Here is the Gulf Porsche I have seen on rrb before.
