New Custom Danny Gray Breakout Seat
#31
I just responded to another thread about taking the seat to a custom upholsterer. You can use the padding you pick out, I HIGHLY recommend the Gelfoam, the exact shape you want and finished in the material you want. You can also follow the process much closer in order to make changes if needed. I had my seats and backrest done and I doubt it cost me any more than ordering all oft hem.

Hey 24v
First I wanna start by saying what a beautiful bike you have, very very nice mods you did there, one of my favs in the forum.
My questions, I'm not sure if you have answered them already in another post, but they are so many to go through, so I'm sorry if you have to answer same questions again.
With your new seat, I know they specifically cut it short by the tank, do they do that for anyone now, if I wanted to order the same seat or they just did it for you upon your request?
How tall are you maybe that would help me with the seat and ape hangers configuration, I'm 5'10" and considering same seat and bars combo.
I saw that you had the ape hangers when you had the stock seat. With the new solo seat, which was better from a seating and reaching perspective? Is it too far of a reach? Is it too high? I was considering a 10' maximum 12' but 14' was wondering about it.
Hope you can help me, thanks.

As for them cutting it short by the tank, they will do that for you. Just call and talk to Sherry. She has the measurements.
Here is a pic of me riding it so you can see how I sit on there.

I don't think they make a separate one for this bike. I did not have my stock seat redone, because some day I will trade this bike on another and I want to have all the stock parts to put back on.

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus. I'll have to knuckle down and find someone to make me a custom set-up. Thanks for responding.

That's really hard to say right now. I typically don't like to ride 2-up but my girl is stoked about the idea. I'm not sure if she's going to love it or get over it after the stock pillion destroys her gooch. I'm guessing that shes's going to love it so I'm trying to plan ahead. I still want to solo look with the option of adding a quality pillion. Oh, and we'll most likely be doing relatively short weekend rides with the occasional long haul.

Something like this might work for you.

Looks like it comes in different sizes. They could probably even make one to the specs you give them.

I really dig the Bitchin Seats set-up but the price tag is ridiculous. The PILLION costs more than the Danny Grey solo seat. I'll most likely have something made or modify the stock seat/pillion.
