Default Gen#2 Breakout seat

Can you guys post pic of your B.O. with aftermarket seat? Until now, I really liked the look of the stock seat, red stitchin' and all, but thinking of another seat that would look good and ride good. No info, but liking the looks of the Mustang Day tripper. Can't find any pics on the bike though. Especially the one with the double helix stitching. Thanx, let's see dem pix!

You could get yours reworked in the materials, stitching and filling of your choice perhaps, if you have a decent upholsterer near you? Buying a seat off the shelf can be a gamble as you don't really know what you're getting until you put your butt on it and go for a longer ride. I bought a base and got a local company to build the seat with the density of foam and gel insert of my choice, that way it could be easily tweaked for my fat **** should the need have arisen.

I am going to take it to Rich Phillips and have him shape it for me, firm it up some, and stitch a new cover. Right now, for me, it is to curvy at the base. It puts me in a slouch. I want to take about 3/4 of inch outta the back and base. Add another inch to the lumbar area, and square out the bottom a little. He is going to rework my stock solo seat too. And here is your pic.
