What do you think?
07/26/08 at 09:34:52
 
So recently I decided to take Sandy K's advise and do a little seat mod myself.  Pretty much to the letter how Sandy did it.  Combined with Ed. L's forward controls, I'm actually COMFORTABLE (at 6'1") on my little thumper!  I'm gonna pull the cover on the driver seat next weekend and shape the foam a little more, but for now, here's what she looks like!

Nice work!  I have been thinking about doing my other seat in that very color, but couldn't picture how it would look.  Now I know.  Thanks.

Is there a thread to Sandy Ks seat mode?  I really like how that came out.

Tech section:

One way to modify the stock seat inexpensively

Cost me about $25.  The difference in comfort is night and day.....   No more lower back pain OR monkey butt!

Looks great!  I love the classic vintage look the tan leather gives.  Saw this same color on a chopped light blue Savage one time.
