Here's a photo of the seat with the new padding I sewed up. I cut a pan and back plate out of 1/8 birch plywood and simply stapled the material to it. The back pad covers a hole and is held in place with velcro, there's enough room under the seat to hold an extra battery, tools, or a rain jacket. The light will be mounted flush and I plan on using side mount blinkers.
