Hey guys, I wanna have a go at modifying my seat further. The attached image shows what I'm thinking. The top image is what I have now (slightly modified), the bottom image is what I'd like to do. A friend told me he can't really see the difference, but it's more about ergonomics than looks (although, I like the look). I have a set of Ed.L's 4" forward controls on the way to go with it.
I think the best way to go about this is to pick up a used OEM seat and see if I can modify it far enough for this to work. I'm not sure how but will probably just have to rip into it and see how it goes. I'd like to keep my current seat in case things don't work out.
So, two things: has anyone got any advice, or warnings? Secondly, Has anyone got a used seat I could consider buying? Even a beat up one! Because I'm having a hell of a time finding one here in Australia. Exchange rates and shipping are just killer from the States but I'm getting to the point where I'll consider just about anything
A couple of last notes: I don't plan to carry a passenger, so the rear seat is just there to cover all the wiring on top of the fender. And I've already moved the rectifier to the tool box.
I'm open to all ideas
Cheers
