At the risk of adding another option. Have you considered a band of pink around the backrest (the thickness) and and equal size band of pink below the piping? White/ pink band/ white. This would add a nice blend of pink in with the white seat while not being too much. Just a thought.
Chuck has been great... I've been talking with him for a few weeks on this. He's been patiently waiting for me to decide

I will have to go into Photoshop today and try your suggestion to see what it looks like. I did want a little more pink on the seat BUT everybody is in agreement with seat #3 less is more. We'll see later today what it looks like.

I just ordered the ostrich pelt from ostrichmarket.com - pearl white instead of flat white, that should be sweet!

Go buy some pink ribbon and tape it to your seat where you think you want more pink. It'll give you a real look at what it might turn out like, from all angles......

I have the seat here with me - now why didn't I think of that?

I love your stretched saddlebags.

If you go with pink piping, the color will be key..... If the pink is off too much, it'll ruin the look. It's gonna have to really match your paint to look good, imo. Post up some pics with the ribbon if you go that route.

I agree that the pink seat was too much and the white flows better however the white with pink piping just didn't seem quite enough given the overall design on your bike. That's why I wondered about adding the pink band. To me it would be just enough pink. That's what's great about photoshop you can try before you buy.

the pink one is too much.. the middle one looks like an after thought. i like the last white seat.. fits/matches the bike perfect.
