This is what I found when I peeled the top layer of foam off.
Is that original?

The foam is junk. Stiff and crumbly.
Gonna go from scratch.

A great idea in the 60's but foam and glue doesn't last for ever. ....lm

Yes. That stuff is almost as old as me, and I'm getting old and crumbly.

I found a local fellow that works at a seat manufacturer to make me new foam cushions. I saved the 'hump' from the rear of the original CL72 / 77 seat to be installed in the new units. I'll post a pic or 3 in a few weeks. I played around with making my own but I'm not very good with an electric bread knife.

I have only done one seat (Honda 1989 HawkGT) and it came out quite well compared to the original. It took a long time and there was a lot of "do-over" when I got something wrong.
An electric carving knife and a sewing machine are not my favourite tools.
