That looks like it might be a CVO. They come with that chrome thingie around the seat but without the bling rivets she has going on.

Ha, that remines me of a buddy. He's an electrican and took padding out of his Sportster's seat to lower it. It was so thin, guys in the shop called it his 88, (term for black electrical tape).

Wow, you work CHEAP! I thought web designers commanded a LOT more than a couple hundred dollar seat cover, on a total redesign. I think he's the one that got the deal. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great you're happy, but I bet he's happier...

Nothin' better than a WIN-WIN, I reckon.

Agree'd. win/win is great. I often trade work out myself.

The "command" was a lot better back before the .com fall. Now days it's not as good. Guess it really depends on what kind of a rework it is. I would ask for the sky if I had the opportunity though.

Dunno about the ostrich...it looks good on boots, but I don't know how comfortable it'd be sitting on those "bumps" during a ride?

Maybe a natural cowhide tinted to highlight the white/pink color combo...the hide would gain character in the grain as it ages. How about shark? It's fairly tough and has an interesting pattern...

I don't know about one hide for the seat. The most impressive looking seats to me have been the one with a creative inlay of another skin. Like a nice clean leather with an alligator or Ostrich patch in the center. There are so many combinations that I can see where the problem lies. Oh, I also think that the bike you posted would have been served better with a light tan or even a black hide seat. But that is me.

You asked! I think a white pearl flake vinyl with pink diamond stitching like bobbersvo88. That would sit it off!
