ABSTRACT:
A tandem motorcycle seat for attachment to the frame of an associated motorcycle has a unitary, rigid, elongated platform member configured to seat upon and be secured to the frame of the motorcycle, and an elongated tandem saddle on the platform member providing drive and passenger seat portions. A backrest for a person seated on one of the seat portions has a depending leg spaced inwardly from the side margins of the saddle which extends through a passage in the saddle into a receptacle on a bracket secured to the platform member. In making the seat, a first layer of a mixture of glass fibers and polyester resin is embedded on the lower element of a mold which is configured to form the platform member of the seat. Hardware is applied on the first layer and a second layer of glass fiber/resin is applied to the first layer and about the hardware so as to encapsulate at least a portion of the hardware in the layers which are then partially cured. A foamable synthetic resin is introduced into the lower element of the mold onto the partially cured second layer. The first and second layers and the foamable synthetic resin are concurrently cured to produce a chemical bond between the glass reinforced layers and foam layer and the composite seat body is removed from the mold and covered with a pliable outer layer of material.
