Default seats with snakeskin inlay

As shown in the pic, I have the stock seat and passenger pillion. I would love to have a rattlesnake skin inlay laid in the center of both seats but have never seen this done to a stock seat (s). anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

You should look in your phone book under upholstery. You can probably find someone in your town that can do it. It will be alot faster than shipping your seat off plus you will probably have a bigger selection of materials. I had a seat for another bike done in ostridge skin.

I used a local leather shop that specializes in leather works and he and is wife are also bikers. I found after doing it the seat is way more comfortable.

This seat had some work done by Mean City Cycles before I put the inlay on. It was good but not great. Once the leather inlays were put in I just found it more comfortable. I have had it for at least 6 months and been on longer rides it just sits better. I used real leather on inlays may have something to do with it. They could have also rearranged the padding that Mean City had put in.
