The seat actually looks comfortable| What is the padding—gel or hummingbird feathers? The covering, is it cowhide or kangaroo?

Welcome! That paint job has a mirror finish........nice work. There seems to be some very sharp K100 builds down in OZ, and you are in that club. :euro

Thanks for your messages ,the seat was a fibreglass  shell i bought from ebay,i made up a base and got the guys who do the trimming to make the padding as comfy as possible .@ layers of different foam density.Then i got them to cover it in tan leather. Feels great .
