Default Solo Pan

So i'm making a solo pan seat for my sporty. Going to be just basic. Sheet of steel with some nice thick leather that i'll probably do some sort of carving in. Will keep updated pictures as I progress in the album.

Got it cut out roughly and went to the local leather repair shop and came up with how I'm going to edge the leather on the pan. Will get more pics added later today

The pics are there now. Ready to fit it to the bike. Need to weld on a piece to use the factory seat screw and to slide in on the front. (My time zone is 4 hours different than posted)

What do you think of this idea. Want to put a simple character on seat and I am thinking Taz would be good. Any thoughts?
