LOL. Yes I did. Surprisingly the brown one is slightly deeper and more comfortable. The black one is good, but just a bit short of the brown one.

I might have one recovered with some dense memory foam and tougher hide.

Two words. Mustang, backrest. I don't even think about the seat now.

That is one ripper seat. I like the treatment under the front.
The look is killer.

The only bummer (for me) is short legs. Man, the front of the sprung solos have a way of reminding you of your leg status, via the family jewels when you put feet to pavement.

I hadn't thought about exotic material, just full grain leather. Now you have me thinking buffalo.

Thanks Jack. It is farther from the ground than stock. Add 2" more for your bike with taller suspension. The seat to board position is great though.

I made the leather boot at the seat hinge. It felt empty and naked to me. It took all of an hour, some snaps and brads.
